Ep 2 - How important is length of pull really? Do I need to know this and how does it affect gun fit?
In this episode we cover different aspects of LOP and the impact it has with gun fit. Do we really need to consider length of pull at all?
Watch the full episode to see how this may impact you and how you shoot.

Personally I think grip angle, shape and placement is way more important that LOP. I have firearms whose LOP differ by over an inch and they all work fine. A also have 2 that have grips much to far back from the trigger and they bother me and feel very uncomfortable. I big vertical grip is a very different feeling than a thin semi pistol grip and their distance from the trigger is much more important than the actual distance from the butt to the trigger imho. And worst, it’s rarely measured or even talked about. 👍🏼

Thank you for your comments and yes those are all very valid points and I will mention this in the next video. Personally LOP is not my main focus. It is talked about in our circles/clubs where I live. So we can see that there are different schools of thought around this. Trigger to grip distance is a key as you said, if there is too much distance, then its not comfortable to shoot and your finger is reaching for the trigger with a different wrist angle as well.

The simple way to lengthen the pull is to get in touch with the maker, when they stock the gun the cut off section is numbered to the gun and placed in the archives, then if the gun is sold to a person that needs a longer pull it can simply be reunited with the stock almost invisibly , well, that is how Holland & Holland do it, other makers may have a different system.

The forearm length method is actually pretty meaningless. What is much more important, is the angle of your elbow when shouldering the firearm. That angle should be more or less 90 degrees.

Thank you for your comments. There are many school of thoughts on this and what works for one doesn't work for another. I agree with you that emphasis is more on keeping the angle around 90 degrees. If you keep the angle at 90 degrees, it will open up a pocket in your shoulder as I mentioned. If your forearm is shorter than someone else's, then you will find that you will need to reach for the trigger by moving your arm forward. This closes the pocket in your shoulder as the pectoral muscle is extended. It pushes the butt of the gun out and doesn't allow for correct alignment. I will provide your feedback (which is appreciated) in the next video. Look forward to future comments and helpful hints.🙂
