Have seen a order card for a Fox graded shotgun that states Pitch Point Blank. What does that mean? Just never heard that term before. Gun was made circa 1933.

That's a good one, Tom. I'll be interested to know what that means, too.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

The pitch is the angle of the buttstock in reference to the barrel or rib of the gun.

or maybe pitch point is the angle of the heel of the butt stock...
90 degrees or points could mean neutral or no pitch or pitch blank?
less than 90 points would indicate some degree of pitch forward, which makes the gun shoot lower...
conversely, more than 90 points of pitch indicates pitch rearward, which should result in the gun shooting higher?
or not....

It means the angle that the pad sits on the buttstock. Or the angle of the butt in reference to the rib. It is usually adjusted for the amount of recoil.

The angle of the pitch affects the point of impact of the charge.
I suspect the “Pitch Point Blank” means that the gun is intended to deliver the centre of the pattern to the point of aim.
What we would probably call 50/50 these days.

Jimmy still doesn't explain the "three word terminology".
Is it........ Pitch - Point Blank,
is it ........Pitch Point - Blank,
is it ........Pitch - Point - Blank?
None make sense to me. I've known what pitch was as long as I can remember, but like tut I've never seen that three-word terminology ever used before.
May God bless America and those who defend her.
