dskize, probably but when I know somethings not quite right it bugs, me especially when I know what needs done to put it right.
Think of it like a slow puncture in a tyre, you know you'll probably complete the journey if you keep pumping it up but the journey would be a lot easier if you just took it into a fitter and got it sorted right in the first place. I know exactly where my finger should be in relation to the trigger
You'll see increasing number of 'pistol' or 'ergonomic gripped stocks on the comp circuits now because its the shape that best suits the anatomy of the shooter's hand wrist and forearm, if you look at the traditional stock it hasn't evolved much since medieval times when it was just a tube stuck on a stick and the stock was based on the crossbow which was a cheap throw-away bit of kit for the 'levy' which took minimal skill and training to operate effectively. The basic game gun stock really hasn't progressed much from the musket, all very well for the occasional pheasant but not ideal for putting hundreds of carts a week through.
What I believe holds developement back is our preconceived idea of what a shotgun should look like. In my life-time we've moved from SxS to OUs and Semi-autos, fixed to multi chokes, we've started to introduce adjustable combs and buttplates (previously the preserve of target rifle shooters, we've only just started to think 'hang on that's not quite optimal', about how the hand positions the finger on the trigger.
Then we get on to addressing recoil and it's cumulative effect on the brain which is whole different thread.
