Stan,
I'm just the opposite, 5'8, 32 in. sleeves and slender build.

I think you'd be better fitted with a shorter LOP. I'm 5-11, with 35" sleeves and 14" works best for me. However, I shoot low gun on everything except trap. I would ordinarily bow to JOC's expertise but I see far more people using shotguns that are too long for them than too short. They have the butt on their shoulder muscle , worse yet, out on their upper bicep or way low, on their pectoral. That's their boob, for people from Rio Linda. Some have their cheek almost on the heel of the recoil pad(women, in particular, do this). A lot of crap is written about longer LOP reducing recoil(felt) and other questionable benefits. However, almost every picture I see, of one of the top Sporting Clay shooters, shows them with their trigger hand thumb, almost touching their nose. I'll bet you'd exhibit one or more of the above signs with that 15.25" new gun. I'd more likely credit your pheasant success to paying more attention than to the longer LOP. Of course, whatever works best for you is fine with me. JMO, of course.
