I can shoot guns well with any amount of drop from about 2 1/2" DAH to 3" DAH. Most of my "modern guns" are in the 2 1/2" DAH range. One thing for certain........... for an all around hunting/sporting clays/skeet gun, the vast majority will shoot 3" DAH better than 2" DAH. Few people can get down on the comb hard enough, and consistently enough, to make a 2" DAH gun work for anything but trap or pigeons. And if it's a high stocked and a lightweight gun, it will often bruise the cheek. Many of the "modern" Italian doubles are stocked way too high, causing them to shoot high. My Perazzi and Beretta are exceptions to that.
Notice sometime how many shooters mount the gun and have 1" to 1 1/2" of the heel of the butt above the shoulder........... not even contacting it. That is because of too little drop. That is not a proper mount, and is the result of poor gunfit and/or a poor mount.
