[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Banshee shouldering problems

Posted: 6/1/2013 11:47:49 AM EDT

I recently bought a banshee carrier and found I have some difficulty properly seating a rifle onto my shoulder. Are here any tricks to work around this? If not, what other plate carriers would have more clearance in this area?

Are you completely new to plate carriers?

shoulder it off to the side of the strap or on top of the strap. the more that you practice with it the more that it'll become norm. shorten your stock and allow your carrier to be the extra length

Cant your weapon towards you a little... Shorten the stock if you are running something with a collapsible stock.

Yes, I am completely new to them. The rest of the suggestions you mentioned were what I had already figured out, but thanks for the replies. Will ceramic plates be damaged if the rifle is shouldered partly on the plate and fired?

Thanks

I had the same issue with the Banshee when I had mine. I sold it and bought a Mayflower APC and am much happier.

Put your left foot forward (assuming you are right handed) and get a bit of a bladed stance going. Also don't be afraid to twist the rifle counter-clockwise a bit. That squared-feet-stock-in-the-middle-of-your-pec magpul stance aint gonna fly with armor.
