Looking at the nice gun Lape has offered for sale, I see that it has a cheek piece.

Every time I see such I wonder if the Germans were wing shooters, as we typically define wing shooters. I have never been to Germany and know little about what and how they hunt, particularly 75 or a hundred years ago

The fact that they put cheek pieces on so many of their shotguns I wonder if the used them like a rifle, aiming at their game as I imagine one would do shooting boars or hares.
