Bending a stock question - 06/26/10 03:44 PM
The Churchill method as I understand, suggests that to correctly modify a stock one should use a pattern board and apply a formula. I believe it is: move the stock 1/16" for every 1" off based upon the center of your pattern shot at a mark 16' from the shooters eye; hence The Rule of 16s.
I assume that the bend is measured at the butt not at the nose or the cheek or the comb. So if your pattern is 2" to the left, the BUTT needs to me moved 2/16" to the right creating cast-off for a RH shooter.
My question is where is the measurement made?
