Drew, every one of the photos you posted are of shooters who are either shooting clays or pigeons with premounted guns. Has nothing to do with the real world walk-em-up bird shooting we are talking about.

Again, there is absolutely no "right" or "wrong" way to mount a shotgun, within limits. Very similar to golf--everyone has their own style and thats great as long as it works for them. I think I'd hate shotgun shooting if I had to shoot a gun some world renowned expert said fit me. It'd probably have a 15" LOP and no more than 2 1/4" drop. As it is I'm sitting in my rocking chair with a shotgun leaning against the wall with a 14" pull and 3" drop--and having to spend all evening cleaning birds. wink

John McCain is my war hero.
