It's pretty hard for me to shoot anything with a big drop because the stock has to be settled into my shoulder pocket while the bird is in the air. That takes time, leads to barrel checking, etc. Not good for clean kills.

Essentially it feels different.
Lots of squirming going on.

But then when you go pre-mount? NBD.

Pre-mount bears no resemblance to a dynamic style of shooting.

Heck, you could shoot 6" of drop if given enough time to squirm in behind it, and get your eye looking down the rib squarely.

If you practice with a modern gun to get pretty good, then grab a 3" dropper? Good luck.

Out there doing it best I can.
