Gun Fitting

[TxHuntermn]

I have a custom DeHaan .410 and a custom Sterlingworth that are fitted to my dimensions for mounted, or “ready” position shooting with 14 7/8ths lop. I definitely shoot these guns better without much at clay target games, and pass shooting hunting (read doves) in warm weather where I dont need a coat or jacket, than I do others. But, like many here, i seem to do pretty well with most other gun dimensions while hunting.

If you looked at all my double guns, in the rack, the varying height from the shelf to the triggers looks like a wave. Like many, I have a couple I rarely shoot but the ones I do shoot are very different. The more I shoot them, the better I shoot them. Likewise, I perform less well with the ones less used.
My dad was a bigger guy than I, and his favorite grouse gun is under 14”. I’m built more like our milkman and seem to like guns between 14.25 and 14.5”
