More Drop, please
I have a 32"DHE which operantly was set up as a trap or live bird gun, and as a result doesn't have much drop. I want to use it more for clays shooting. The gun is too nice to start bending or shaving the stock. Any suggestions on some sort of fairy dust I could sprinkle on it to give me more drop?

Yup. Sell it to one of us who floats the target above the bead.:)
But seriously, if you practice floating the target, you'll get the hang of it...especially to keep a nice long-legged Parker. |
Yep, but after 70 years of shooting at the target, it's hard, real hard to change my style depending on which gun I'm shooting. Best I can do is to smash my face on the stock

If it's a nice gun you don't want to get rid of, you could shoot it with me and probably still be the best shot.:rotf: I cringe when I read GBE's account of sanding down his "Little Purdey," but it worked for him and the gun still looked great. I've committed to not buying guns that don't have higher stock drops. I've saved a great deal of money not buying guns that made me drool otherwise when I saw them. I say I've committed to that, but my wife says I should BE committed for buying too many guns. Good luck with your dilemma. |
If it’s a 20 gauge there is no hope for it. And I would be glad to help you rid yourself of it.

By puting in spacers in front of the butt plate, extending the LOP, more drop results. Unfortunately, I probably would require a 36" LOP to get the desired drop. At 6'3",I can tolerate longer LOP's but 36" is more than I can handle

If it has a pad you could easily change the pitch to lower barrels without touching the stock.

John: it is a desirable gun with significant value, but it is not for you. At this point in our shooting life we're all probably dealing with enough frustrations...vision, reaction time, loss of muscle mass, body parts that don't work like they once did :(
Trade it or sell it and get one that fits your shooting style. This is supposed to be fun brother ;) Simply raising the front bead (yeah I know we don't look at it) will lower your POI, but if your sight picture is firmly imprinted in looking straight down the rib, that may not work. |
