Adjustable stocks work well if you set them up to do just one thing. Too many shooters like to tinker with moving them back and forth. Once close to your needs it becomes a problem with the Indian not the bow or arrow. But I never take a clay target gun hunting. Target guns tend to be heavy gun which are not fun to carry. They are heavy to help absorb recoil from high volume shooting. I far more enjoy carting a lighter gun hunting and have never found recoil with them to be a problem. Plus it gives me a reason to buy another gun. Like I need another gun or reason anyways. anyways.
