Well you know I am in the same boat, and I think it a good question. I shot a few rounds while at the Southern with Danny Patton. In short he noticed with my 20/28ga( I shot the 28ga barrels) grouse gun that I was lifting my head for the second clay. He said you know you have hit all the first targets and about half the second ones because I see you lift your head trying to find it. He said maybe that stock is too low at your face.
After that round we shot 16ga, and I used my pheasant gun and shot a much improved score, on the 10,12,16 course. Danny said I wasn't lifting my head with that gun. I took both and had them measured to find 3/16" difference at the face lower for the 28ga, all other points of measurement within 1/8". I am planning to have the stock bent.

I don't know if it will help, but I have it in my mind it will and worth a shot. It's rare we keep score at Sporting Clays as you also know, but with Grouse I keep score. I'd rather center a bird or miss completely than nick'em.
