A club that I shoot silhouette at has a winter 3 position league. This is 50ft smallbore with optics.
I have the equipment (coat, sling, glove, etc.) and an Anschutz 2013 (wood stock).
They are in need of shooters so I thought I would help out.
However, I do not know how to use all the adjustments on the 2013 stock to my advantage.
Such as:
Should I use the hook (newer style hook) for offhand only?
Do you change the LOP or cheekpiece position when changing position?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Head position
JCF,
While I agree with 'laxratnd' that you will want to use the hook, particularly in kneeling and standing, I disagree with not adjusting the cheekpiece from position to position.
The very reason the cheekpiece is adjustable is so that you can change it. Your head angle will change slightly as you move from prone to standing to kneeling and you will find that slight adjustments will allow you to keep both a consistant cheek pressure and sight picture.

Hap
