Brian this is up your alley but did you notice the stock and fit on the gun the man is holding. No way that is an off the shelf gun stock. There can't be that many guns out there modified for 7.5 feet men. I wonder if that pic was delivery of that modified gun to the big guy.

A friend of mine that is 7' and played a bit in NFL as a backup lineman for the Giants (fitting), once went shooting with me. I am 6 feet and I let him borrow my Ruger Sporting Clays gun that I added a slip on leather stock pad. Had some extra closed cell foam and added about 1.5 inches into the bottom of pad. It helped some but it still looked like a toy gun on him. Still such a good athlete he was able to pick it up with a little instruction and shoot great. Seriously the guy said he could count on one hand how many times he used a shotgun and he hit around 50 out of 100 and no station really waxed him. It was tough trying to hit some of the crossers at first but he was getting better.
