Dropped Butt Plates

Post by kbean »

I’ve noticed in some shooter’s photos for 10m air rifle that in the standing position the butt plate is very low, several inches below the center line of the bore. When holding, it almost looks like the bottom of the butt plate is under the arm pit.

A couple of questions:
Can the butt plate be held under the arm pit (ISSF, NRA)?
If I wanted to try out one of these, what is an example of the but plate or extension being used?
Thanks!

Not sure which brand of air rifle you have. My son has an LG400 Anatomic. Stock buttplate didn’t drop low enough for him, so we replaced it with the KK500 buttplate and carrier, minus the hook as I don’t believe it’s legal. Solved the adjustment limitation of the original buttplate but is a little more work when when he shoots 3PAR, which will be a thing of the past in 6 months.
