Technically speaking. they hnve too much drop at the heel of the stock. Tills merely means that tiie distance from tiie projected sighting plane along the rib of tiie barrel down to Hie top Is of the stok at the too great. Filch guns nre not so bad for shooting on high tl)!ng waterfowl Because iere the mm Is usually more deliberate and mure like rifle sighting. You have plenty of time to adjust the crooked gun to your shoulder and your eye to the sighting plane. But take tills same gun Into upland shooting, where the bird more frequently than not hursts from cover on a surprise rise, and all too often you will find your first shot nils-e- d by undershooting. Most men who become good upland shots with crocked guns are usually slow shot. Tuelr crooked puna are frequently heavily choked. Their slowness In shooting prevents them f r in making their kill at close range. Hence they need the extra range of the full choke. A good shot trained to tiie use of one of our more modern nmke of gun, with les drop at tiie heel of the butt, will make such a slow shot look silly, however, because he will have the game down dead before Hie slow moving gun can get Into action.

Possibly two nnd Inches Is better, although the former dimension Is a pretty good fit for the average man. Dont go to extremes, however, and get too little drop. Too little Is worse than too much drop. Too little drop will cause you to miss by overshooting. The next important dimension is the drop at the comb the high point in the top of the stock where it rests up ngainst your cheek. The drop here should be Just enough to keep your eye high enough to see the full length of your barrel. High enough so Hint the view of your full barrel length will to appear to be about of an inch.
