My apologies to all of you experienced Neanders. Posts like this must bore you to tears! Just completed making my first shooting board, and made a few test cuts. No PICS yet since I'm already re-doing it. As I was truing up the fence, I inadvertently tipped the plan just a bit, so now the fence angles just a hair. Probably wo't affect functio too much, but the gap bugs me, so I'm going to fix it. Thank goodness I took Derek's advice and made the fence adjustable, so all I have to do is loosen two screws! I also made it too long, and have to reach too far to make it comfortable to use. I can already see that a ramped board is not too far off either.
