There are many factors in proper gun fit. LOP, Drop, Cast and Pitch all play a part. And then you need to consider what game you are playing, ie pre-mounted or low gun. Interestingly enough, I went over to the trap field this afternoon for a couple rounds of practice and a large part of my practice is making sure I have the same mount every time I put the gun to my shoulder. The Parker SBT I shoot singles with has a 14 3/8 inch LOP. Shot my first 25 with a sweater on and dropped 2 targets. The gun mount just didn't feel quite right. Pulled off the sweater and ran the next 25. I really don't like shooting in cold weather and my averages always go down this time of year. Extra layers change the fit of the gun and cost me targets.
