Bob,A gun stocked to my liking would be 14 1/2"LOP 1 1/2"DAC 2 1/2" DAH with a 1/8" or so cast off for a RH shooter. I can shoot any one of these guns pretty good as I have learned how to adjust. The two 32" trap guns with the fairly high stocks I like because I float the birds over the muzzles.

Dave, I could shoot your gun no problem. 1 1/2 DAC is right on the money for me shooting 16yd trap targets,I too like to float the target. That why some of my flatter shooting doubles give me fits at SC! Was just curious if you actually see a figure 8 with any of those stock dimensions.
I know as I raise the comb on my gun I begin to see rib between the beads.
So it stands to reason a higher comb or a longer face would require the bead be closer to the muzzle to get stacked beads. A mid bead is very functional if properly set for the shooter. Canting the gun left or right or raising the head causes the figure 8 to fall apart,it can serve as an instant gun mount check before calling for the target.

Bob,I agree. On my three trap guns I use the figure 8 to get set on the gun and then look for the target.Seems to work pretty good.Also at trap I don't go down to the house before calling for the target.I keep my mounted gun about three feet up from the house.Keeps gun movement to a minimum and I am on the target quickly.

Robert, that's my point exactly.

We rarely see Dave with a "long face" - he's usually the life of the party.

Default Optical illusion or aid for eye dominance??

Just my eyes, but both the PH 16- 26" barrels with two beads, and a 1950's M21 26" Skeet I bought recently seem to have a longer sight plane with the two beads. I looked at a 1950's M21 but 12 ga. today, 26" barrels but just a front bead- full length stock too- and it seemed "stubby"-

Wonder if the two beads help those with eye dominance issues?
