For the past month, I've been shooting a Lefever from about 1886 with drops of 1 7/8" X 3 1/4". It has worked pretty well for me on sporting clays and I have almost kept up with my shooting buddy and his Browning superposed. I mount the old Lefever to my "teeth", so to speak, and stand fairly straight up during the mount. If I'm shooting a high dimension gun, I mount to my cheekbone, instead of my teeth, and lean more into the gun. Switching from high to low dimensions or vice versa, I have to practice the "new" mount in my living room for about a week. This seems to get my cat excited, but works when I go out to shoot. I used to try all different kinds of comb risers to give a low dimension gun high dimensions, but they are a pain in the neck and ugly. I have found that it is more fun to vary my mount to match the gun, instead of varying my gun to match my mount. It works and you are enjoying the gun the way it was made to be shot.

And Richard after woodcock c. 1886 smile



Note mounting the gun lower on the face moves the eye to the right (for a righty) ie. effective cast off.

the placement of your off hand on the forend and even up under the barrels can affect how a gun fits. i have a parker with a 4" drop at heel. by holding up under the barrels, i can make the gun fit me.

notice the placement of richards' left hand, forward of the forend and under the barrels...

Also see how he is standing or rather squatting ,totally the opposite to the way we are taught today , which adds weight to my earlier comments regarding shooting styles . I assume here we have a pot shooter rather than a sportsman .

Drew, You caught me on Candid Camera! Very interesting point you make about increased"effective cast off" with a low dimension "to the teeth" mount. I do generally have my left hand a head of the forend like that too, and I even bet I do a crouch like that once in a while!

Hey I figured out this big drop stock shooting style. It requires a dress shirt with a separate starched high collar and a necktie! Couldn't lower their heads to the stock without cutting off blood flow to the brain, which was already diminished by the collar and tie. As for the painting of the shooter squatting, the artist painted out the real scene as this guy was caught with his pants down when the woodcock flushed. If you look close his pants are still unbuttoned. ;-)
