Field shooting for me is a quick, haphazard affair. I cannot recall having ever been mindful of cheek weld, follow-through, or any of the fine points of shooting that I otherwise aspire to. In that mode, when the face may not be firmly on the comb, or even touching, a generous amount of drop may serve the shooter well. Many were the day when I would wrap things up, pleasantly surprised with my performance using a gun with archaic dimensions.
