Length of pull
open-in-new
<p>Length of pull (sometimes abbreviated as LOP) is the distance from the <a href="/facts/Trigger_(firearms)/e95STa6G">trigger</a> to the part of a <a href="/facts/Rifle/H3mJx7U4">rifle</a> or <a href="/facts/Shotgun/tGxz1bqj">shotgun</a> which fits against the <a href="/facts/Shoulder/Hsn5SWq2">shoulder</a> of the shooter. Length of pull is an important <a href="/facts/Ergonomic/prAcGtDW">ergonomic</a> factor for ease of use; and optimum length of pull may vary with the size of the shooter, the thickness of <a href="/facts/Chest/lwtzfc8K">chest</a> clothing and <a href="/facts/Body_armor/AfAaph2E">body armor</a> being worn, and whether the shooter is firing from a <a href="/facts/Standing/dgLKI8qh">standing</a>, <a href="/facts/Sitting/KRDeAWL2">sitting</a>, or <a href="/facts/Prone_position/dIElgMY6">prone position</a>. </p>
