If you read the classic English books Percy Stanbury or Robert Churchill they both advocate forward hand positions. Stanbury more than Churchill, but he was tall and thin Churchill short and stocky. Stanbury and Churchill's books are very good and available from Amazon
Any sport I have ever participated in Form is one of the most important things. Good Form and getting your position right gives you a foundation for improvement.
Don't watch Skeet shooters for form though. Memorized break points locked in positions. Shooting Skeet for practice is great but close your ears to 90 % of the advice you will get. Fellow yesterday hit rate way less than mine was telling me to shoot high gun hard cheek on the stock, lock my knees and hips. Not a recipe for success except on the Skeet field. Even skeet crouch and locked hips is not good.
