Normal Parker Drop?

I feel unworthy to disagree with you as I hold you in awe in regard to all things to do with American doubles but for me the big drop Parkers don't bite my cheek at all. The comb touces my jaw right at the corner where my overworked jawbone goes from vertical to horizontal. I shoot a Parker with 3" of drop at a couple of thousand trap targets every year. It never bites my cheek and my flinch went completely away. I quit shooting competitive trap because of my flinch but I am thinking about going back at it with the big drop Parker. I also shoot a few hundred rounds a year through another 3'' dropped Parker at NSTRA field trials. Haven't noticed any kick from that gun at all. I like shooting Parkers with lots of drop.

Best,
