Default Gun Fitting

I don't recall seeing threads on this in the past, but interested in your thoughts on gun fitting, and if it really helped you. Some people are shooters that hunt a little, and others are hunters that shoot a little. I fall into the latter category.
I am a mediocre shot on the sporting clays range, but do quite well bird hunting, and probably should give most of the credit to my dogs for that. Like most of you, I could carry a different gun every day of the week. My guns range from 13 1/2" LOP to 14 1/2" and 2 1/4" to 3" of drop. I tend to favor 16's and 20's, and have recently begun to appreciate those 30" and plus barrels, although 26" was the desirable length back when I started hunting with SXS's back in the '80's.
If you had a gun fitting, did you then have one of your guns custom stocked for you. Did it improve your Shooting?
