John,
I just know for me the fun is in the research, whether its tennis and rackets, shoes etc. archery was the same way. If I do some research and find that something works better for me then "mentally" I am more confident if that makes sense. I would of probably never paid for a gun fitting before. Now after the gun fitter and I talked I realize its the best possible scenario for me. I know some guys that will get a gun custom built to exact dimensions, but gaining or losing weight will change things, extra clothing like was said before etc. I am just trying to find something closer than I have currently, so both sides of an argument like this have their points. I have short arms too, so it will be interesting to see what my l.o.p. is too, and stock cast etc. I hunt with the gun room manager at this place, and he never tried to "sell" me on a gun fitting. Thats what I like about these guys. He put a new stock on an old fox and he loves shooting his old gun now. And he shoots it very well, I don't shoot skeet, or trap or sporting clays. John D. has invited me over, I shoot so bad, its embarassing. I need to practice more and I will get better, but I know now after the initial part of the process this is the best thing that could happen for me. Stan, the way my neck was explained to me also had to do with other things like stock, l.o.p. etc. and I don't know enough to even comment on here. Like you said it can get complicated, I appreciate everyone's point of view, like Brett said this is how we can all learn I am glad Andy posted this.
