why is gun fit such a big deal for sxs double gun shooters and not so much for o/u shooters? and pump gun and auto loader shooters could care less?

Where did you get that stupid idea Ed? Maybe you were too busy posting anti-2nd Amendment nonsense such as this, rather than researching the subject: as for the gun control issue...we are the only country in the world that seems to tolerate mass murder, in the name of an individual right...its about time that we as a society realize that we are over gunned with too many super dangerous weapons in the hands of too many super dangerous people... it is long past time to do as the rest of the civilized world has done and simply, disarm... disarm...seems to work for the rest of the civilized world...
why not us? if society, via our law makers, deem it necessary to restrict or prohibit our possession of certain classes of arms, then every good citizen should obey the law for the good of the majority.
and if some here wish to discuss further restriction and prohibition of certain classes of arms here, then why not? And when you weren't posting anti-2nd Amendment crap, you were attacking dove hunters and posting garbage in support of anti-hunting groups like PETA: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal rights organization in the world, with more than 3 million members and supporters. PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in the clothing trade, in laboratories, and in the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds, and other “pests” as well as cruelty to domesticated animals. PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns. Read more: http://www.peta.org/about-peta/#ixzz2nGfdrBVKdon't sound so bad to me? what do you think? Have a nice day Ed. 
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Professional competitors usually shoot vertical guns while dedicated upland hunters often choose horizontal guns and care about appropriate cast and lop. The casual Country Sod using pump or semi-auto is not concerned enough to care. What is surprising is rifle hunters don't seem to care at all about the gun fit where one would seem it would be important (one hole in game vs many tiny ones). I suspect Europeans shooting running game probably care more about rifle fit as opposed to Americans who stalk their game and shoot it like Marine Snipers.

That does not seem to make a lot of sense.
Gun fit is just as important for any shotgun action type. Still the same thing that the shooters eye is the rear sight.
It may just be that some folk think fit can be compensated for by firepower.
I have a bolt 12g shotgun with a rear sight & it can be shot like a big rifle.

Ed, is your question acts like bait for bad manners. If so, I guess it worked
As Moses states before me gun fit is important for any shotgun action type.
I do not believe that O/U shooters or competitive shooters ignore gunfit. While many may, the best pay attention to everything.

SXS shooters put more into stock fit as, at least from my experience shooting one requires instinctive response. A lot of single barrel shooters aim at the target, some get very good at it. This style of shooting compensates for stock fit. I can't imagine they would be tops in competitive clays, though.
Even with a massive 10 gauge SXS, I tend to shoot better when a quick response was necessary. I read something about getting on target with rifles, a heavy British double rifle properly fitted was on target first, a relatively light "handy" lever action rifle (one stock fits all) was on target last.

When I shoot my BSS in S x S competition events I premount it, same as I do my O/U comp gun. I won the AA class in the S x S event in 2010 at the U. S. Open with it. I had just gotten the gun and hadn't even opened the choke yet on the left barrel. It was still full choke.
When I shoot ducks I mount it and shoot in one motion. A gun does not have to be mutually exclusive of one or the other. You can shoot both ways with the same gun.

Ed - have you been to a trap or sporting clays competition lately? Have you noticed how many shooters have adjustable comb stocks to customize stock fit?

Yes its a generalization, but I share this observation. I've also long ago concluded that a good shot is a good shot, no matter what shotgun is thrust in his hands.
