Head lifting, in the majority of cases, is caused by a 'self preservation; reflex to stop the comb of the stock hitting the shooter in the face.

Most shooters are not aware that they lift their head to some degree on virtually every shot. This variable position of the face on the stock and the subsequent variation of the eye to the rib of the gun leads to more missed targets than any other cause.
When the gun is mounted correctly and the cheek located snugly onto the front half of the comb, a face, eye and rib location is created which can be repeated consistently each time the gun is mounted and fired. This will stop the shot not only going high, but also to the side of the target by eliminating the face rolling over or away from the comb.

The only way to stop the reflex of head lifting is to smooth out the facial recoil experienced by the shooter. The face can then be consistently placed on the same place on the comb, giving the same rib/eye relationship shot after shot, without fear of any discomfort from the recoiling gun.

The design of the unit, using the latest technology in materials allows the shooter to experience smoothness in facial recoil surpassing anything previously experienced.

By keeping the face in contact with the comb before and after firing a far greater degree of accuracy can be achieved.The ability to do this is very advantageous for the serious competition shooter.

Picture 1 shows the jaw bone ( A ) and the cheek bone ( B ) when the face is positioned Snugly onto the comb along the line (A) to (B).
This location of the face ensures consistent eye / rib alignment shot after shot.

Picture 2 shows the jaw bone (A ) and the cheek bone (B) when the face is positioned so that the recoiling gun does not hit the shooter in the face.
This position is seen common place on shooting grounds worldwide.
The shooter feels a firm location at (A) and is happy the gun mount is correct.
However the line (A) to (B) should be located along the comb to give a repeatable eye / rib alignment.

Note the position of the interconnecting line between (A) and (B). This line shows the angle that the face is rotated upwards from a pivot point just below (A). This will result in the shot being high on the target.

There is an added problem here because the face is not positively supported along line (A) to (B). If the gun is swung to the right and the target tracked it will allow the face to roll 'over' the comb with the eye moving from centre to the right side of the rib. This can result in the shot going to the right of the aim point. The opposite happens on targets going to the left when the face can come away from the comb and the eye moves to the left of the centre of the rib and the shot goes to the left of the aim point.

For the shot to consistently impact where the shooter is looking a positive gun mount as Picture 1 should be used. i.e. Points (A) and (B) must be in contact with the comb.
