And yet it is a stock designed for the male body, lacking several features that are necessary for the female body to fit a rifle well.The Boyd's At One stock is great for women as you can adjust the cheek weld and LOP.

You guys are better men than I!! I tried to teach my wife to handle and shoot a 9mm pistol I got her for her birthday. Long story short I'm an impatient teacher and someone hopefully got a deal on a like new XD9.My wife love to hunt but she has been getting very frustrated because she can't see through a scope consistently. She missed the opportunity on a buck last year because she couldn't see through the scope. Its bad enough that she's not eaven excited about our elk hunt next week.
Is there a somewhere she can take some shooting classes and get professionally fitted so she can enjoy going again.
I have tried to help but I dont know how and it normally ends in a fight, from what I can see she is shouldering the gun to low and can't get a check weld but she says its comfortable there. I'm going to make a foam riser for the stock at work today.
DSMITH1651,
The Weatherby Camilla stock features tuned to your wife's physical size will be very helpful. Fyi, Savage has been making their 'Lady Hunter' model with a lot of the same ideas and is less expensive.
Lot of good responses on this thread; Eye dominance, fit, coaching, etc.
My wife and I have gone through the same experience. Me thinking that I'm asking sensible questions, where in our case it caused confusion/frustration for her. She is no stranger to guns and shooting whatsoever, but the terminology kept tripping us up. Often turned out we agreed on an approach but the actual words used in the conversation didn't match.
We managed to get through it all without attorneys, but more than once we had to just drop it and try again on a different day.
Sounds like you're making progress, have a great hunt!
Women usually /often need a higher comb. Google the Weatherby Camila Series of women's rifles, and look at the very high comb on those rifle. there is U Tube video explaining why they did that. Try a check rest to add 1/4 inch or more to the comb height. By the way , did you use Low, or Medium ring heights???
I thank it depends on wether or not you are near sited or far sighted. I dont wear contacts so I can't really say. She is farsighted. So she can see thangs up close with no contacts or glasses. All I know is buy her taken her contacts out she no longer has issues. Tell her to try it. It's free. Everyone is different. I hope it works. Please let me know if it does. I want y'all to enjoy your hunting and shooting experience together.Why did she have to remove them?
I wear contacs and don't have to remove them for scope use. Though, as my eyes have changed as I've gotten older, I've sure had to make adjustments to the ocular piece for proper focus on the diopter setting.
Set the scope up for her on the middle power. Meaning if it's a 4-16 put it on 8 power. Then on the eye relief turn it all the way in. Now move the scope forward and backwards till it is the most clear for her. Then tighten the scope down. You should have quit a bit of adjustment left.Why did she have to remove them?
