Garry Im with you Im not a competitive shooter. I can shoot most guns that are between 13 3/4 to 14 1/2”. I like guns with some cast on as I shoot left handed. The drop and pitch are the most important to me.
Im not a trap or skeet shooter. I maybe go to the range a few times a year. If I ever shoot a 25 I will be celebrating.
Shooting dove and quail are my passion and will normally take 3 to 5 guns with me to shoot. May start with a 410 and have even been known to finish up with my 8 gauge on Eurasian dove and Pigeons.
I do like shooting the guns that fit, as they naturally point and kill well for me. Once I get my lead figured out.
On flushing quail over my dogs the fitted guns just flat shoot where Im looking.

Drop and pitch are as important, if not more so, than LOP. My dad was a beefier guy than I am, but his favorite gun was his first gun; a VH 16 which he bought at the Cherry Street office of Parker Brothers, on his 16th birthday. that gun has a 13 3/4" LOP and 2 3/4" DAH. He was a firm believer that if your nose didn't hit your thumb, it wasn't too short.

If altering factory stocks is a sin, I am in big trouble. Files, Bandsaws, table saws, and dremels are all tools that I have used to make shooters fit.

I resemble that.

You sound like Bob Brister, Tom, one of my most admired shotgunners and shotgunning authors.
