Phil: I am 6-2, 190 and find my ideal dimensions are 14 1/4, 1 1/2, 2 1/2 with no cast and 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches of pitch. Most of my Parkers are 14, 1 3/4, 2 3/4. I just lighten up the spot weld of my face on the comb, and they seem to do fine. I can shoot as much as a 3 inch drop at heel, but have to spot weld a little lower on my jaw than with the straighter guns. Anything over 3 and I pass on the gun--just too much to adapt to, although if it were my only gun I'm sure I could do it eventually. This sounds like I am a crack shot. I am not. I shoot 55% average at clays with 80% being my best day. Crossed dominant. I do a little better on large birds like pheasants and geese. I get 5 rounds of clays and 10 days in the field a year if I am lucky, so I won't be getting any better. Have fun.
