[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1349192, member: 2736"] I think you mean the other way around. If you shoot anything but a low recoiling rifle (Like the 223) with a too short length of pull, you will likely end up with a scope cut above the eye. A good way to measure your length of pull is to lay a ruler or a rifle on your forearm and place it in the trigger finger with it bent as if you are pulling the trigger, and measure to the inside of your elbow. This will give you the average length of pull for your arm. then adjust this dimension for the different shooting positions as described in this thread. Sometimes a simple change in recoil pad thickness is all it takes. The shortest length of pull for most adults is 13.5" youths are a different thing all together. Remember, the proper length of pull comes first and then you set the eye relief for your position it will be used in. Best accuracy will be achieved if the Length of pull and eye relief is correct for your body. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
