FIRING —
With the chamber loaded, and the action closed, the BT-99 is fired by
simply pulling the trigger. Never pull the trigger unless the muzzle is
pointed down range, at the clay target. Make sure people — other
shooters, spectators, trap operators — are not down range. If there is
any doubt about down range safety, open the action immediately and
remove the shell until you are certain all conditions are safe.
OPTIONAL BARREL PORTING
Your BT-99 may or may not have optional barrel porting. The drilled
holes in the top of the barrel are desired by some shooters for their
tendency to reduce barrel jump and give a feeling of lower recoil
against the face. They require only an occasional cleaning as described
under “Cleaning Suggestions” later in this manual.
BT-99 MODELS WITH ADJUSTABLE COMB
Some BT-99 shotguns feature an adjustable comb on the stock
(Figure 10). The adjustable comb can be adjusted the achieve a
perfect, personalized fit for the shooter. When properly adjusted,
this feature will allow for a customized sight picture for faster target
acquisition and better accuracy.
ADJUSTING CAST ON AND
CAST OFF
This adjustment allows you to adjust for
cast on and cast off to achieve a perfect fit
of the stock against your face. This is a most
crucial adjustment, as it determines how
correctly and consistently your eye will line
up with the sight plane along the barrel rib.
A shotgun correctly adjusted for cast on and
cast off will have you looking directly down
the center of the rib with the front and
middle beads in alignment.
