I would like to attend a gunfitting session this summer and I have narrowed my choices to: Glenn Baker at Woodcock Hill, or Keith Lupton in NY. I have heard good things about both, and both are roughly equidistant from me. What say you?
G&H would be a third option, but I have not heard anything specific about their fitting sessions. Opinions on them?
Thanks.

Newlyn,
Is this fitting for birds or clays? I'll tell yea, getting fit in the summer for a winter game is only going to get your wallet thinner. MHO

Mostly for clays, but I expect to shoot the same gun year round. My intent in getting fitted is primarily to get the cast and drop correct. (I think I need a bit more cast and a bit less drop.) I would expect a good fitter to account for seasonal variation when determining LOP, however.

I completely agree that the fitter should account for changes in clothing, I just don't know how much.
Shooting SC in July with a t-shirt compared to a Pheasant hunt in January is going to be a huge difference. My K80 lop is 15.125", my field guns vary from 14.75" for early season doves to 14" for Jan/Feb quail. I was constantly getting hung up in my jacket on a covey rise with a 14.75" lop. I've learned over the years to change guns depending on weather.
I'm sure you're thinking about these kinds of things, hope it helps.
