What advantage does the lack of a dolls head provide in pigeon, trap, competition shooting?

Curious....

I have a 30", VH 20, ordered in 1904 by noted Parker shooter W.R. Crosby. It was ordered without a safety and the notation "Send Bill- Compliments of Parker Brothers". It is choked IM/F. I have shot live pigeon smallbore events and this could have possibly been used for this but more than likely it was used for clays.
