Thx, Dean. Why did competition shooters order them? What is the advantage?

A broader surface for the cheek bone to rest against... comfort, positioning...? Not sure.

Here's a full comb on a A1S and another on a VHE.

Thx, Dean. Wow, it is really thick on that VH!
The one I'm looking at is obviously thicker than a standard stock but no way as thick as that VH. |

I really don't know if we can compare a Stevens and a Parker in recoil dynamics. The only Parker that ever hurt me (except the 12 ga. Trojan I hunted with when I was twelve) due to recoil is a 20 ga. VH owned by my son-in-law. The gun weighs about 5 1/2 lbs and I won't shoot it anymore unless with RST's softest loads.
But I've been punched pretty good when shooting shotguns by other manufacturers. |

I believe full combs were to lessen the felt recoil to one's cheek via a larger less knife like surface area. Trap shooting is a fairly rapid fire event with only short breaks between stations. ATA events are 100 targets and usually shooters shoot 200 to 300 targets plus practice on a given day. At least that is how it is done now.
Here is a picture of two V's, one with a full comb one more standard, both 1 1/2 frames. I do know I would benefit from some cast off on the full comb gun. One effect is I find it harder to look straight down the rib. ![]() |

I think that you will often find guns ordered with full combs to also have higher stock dimensions. Another more common target gun feature.
