Title: Shockwave screw holes?
Post by: Mongo Hunter on June 07, 2019, 08:15:31 PM: So long story short I have a shockwave type shotgun on order. It comes with a wooden forehand with no strap. I went ahead and ordered a strap and screws for it. However I'm hoping someone with a shockwave can give me the distance of the screws from one another so I can make a template and get it right. Any help would be appreciated.

Charles daly dosent. I don't know why honestly, seems like a bad idea not to. But I went ahead and ordered a nice leather one with screws. So I gotta drill it myself when it gets here. I'm sure I could fuddle with it and just go for it but if I had the measurements of the holes it would be super easy.

Obviously, the arm brace adds a little length, but it's minimal and makes up for it by making them a more effective weapon.
