How do I move a raycast back on objects z axis?

Questions & Answers

Right now I’m just getting the transform of a child object because I couldn’t figure this out. I want to use the transform of the current object script is on but first move it back a few units (along the objects Z axis) before using it.

    void Raycast()
    {
        if (current_Target != null)
        {
            transform.LookAt(current_Target.transform);
            Transform ray_Pos = transform.GetChild(0);

            RaycastHit hit;

            Ray ray = new Ray(ray_Pos.position, transform.forward);

            if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, 2f, 1024))//layer Enemies
            {
                Remove_Projectile();
            }
        }
    }

What about using :

Ray ray = new Ray(transform.position - transform.forward * distance, transform.forward);
