Field Target Butt pad position?

[PasadenaMike]

Soooo I know some guns come with adjustable buttpads. I’ve always left them alone. Is there a better position than neutral?

I prefer to shift the buttpad DOWN, usually to the max allowed, and often I'd prefer more.

For my anatomy this shifts the rest of the gun up, helping in sight alignment and overall not making me feel all crunched up like a cat puking up hairballs. I don't feel like I have a long neck, but I feel really uncomfortable when a gun forces me to make my neck shorter and my shoulder higher. Shoulders and ears aren't meant to touch I guess?

And that's for all shooting positions, bench, offhand, shooting sticks/stool, etc.

@Franklink said it perfectly for me...
