What is custom Fitting? I have worked for over ten years to develop a fitting method that is not like any
other stock builder in the country. The day starts with introductions to Tracy and the staff. From there
we start by checking and evaluating your current stock fit and what changes have to be made.
Next a wooden demo stock (not a try-stock) is installed on your gun and Tracy begins to create a new stock from my
instructions. The morning is spent smelling Bondo and the constant shaping until we achieve what we think is the perfect fit.
Tracy will take you out back and fire a couple of shells to insure that nothing bites or hurts. From this,
myself and the customer head to the range to shoot targets over a trap field. This is not a pattern board
secession but actual shooting at targets. 16yd, handicap, and doubles if necessary. This is one on one time with
me and if needed coaching and different approaches to shooting will be offered. If any pain or uncomfortable
felt recoil occurs we stop shooting immediately and head back to the shop to make corrections. This process
will continue until both the customer and myself are satisfied that the best possible fit has been achieved.
Although this may seem like a long and wasted process, it is the only that I know to obtain the ultimate fit.
We have successfully fitted shooters with neck and back pain, shoulder problems and have made many stocks
without the need for mechanical recoil devices. So we know the method works. As expensive as shooting is this
process over the long haul is the the best and cheapest money you can spend. At DeVault Industries you receive
innovation and not a copy from someone else's mistakes.
