How much is too much DAH?

[Andy]

For me I use 1 1/2" and 2 5/8" I can't tell you how many Parkers I would own if they didn't have so much drop. My bank account thanks them for that. But I can accommodate a little by holding my fore end hand further down the barrel for some droppy guns.

I have a Parker Lifter has a little over 5" DAH.........................


It's called the "Giraffe Gun"

I have a DH eight gauge, 36" Titanic Steel gun with 4 1/4" drop at heel. I have no idea whether I can shoot this gun well, but I don't care. I just like it. It was ordered that way.

I had an 8 gauge hammer gun that if my memories correct was 2” at the comb and 3 3/4” at the heel . That unto itself was bad enough but that gun weighed 15 pounds 14 ounces on my postal scales . That thing was a brute to shoot well for me atleast . Personally I’d like to keep the heal at 2 3/4” or hopefully less . However with electrical tape spacers and Velcro I can fix it enough to shoot it okay !

I'd like to see a pic of that hockey stick! I'd ask Bill for a pic of his too but I know that ain't gonna happen!
