OH MY GAWD.........!!!! THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END !!!
I AGREE WITH EVERY POST.........!!!!!!
It is about your personal mechanics and fit... what it is, it is about repeatability and what will fit most naturally with your body..
With Pistols, it is the grip modification, and because each is a bit different, your minds ability to commit to memory that grip angle, where each and every time you pick it up, and lock it in, it is the the same. so that when you bring it to eye level, your sights are there without having to hunt for them.
With Shotguns, it is the same, it must shoulder quickly,length of pull and drop of comb must put the gun where you don't have to hunt for or adjust for anything. and repeat to the same points on your shoulder, the same cheek weld, the same focal plain.. it must be natural..
With Rifles, the cheek weld, the length of pull, the distance to scope, must be proper, without you having to hunt for the perfect sight picture.. it is there when you throw it up there.. All three adhere to the same basic principles... just the nuances are a touch different.. it all about natural ability to quickly and comfortably attain the proper sight alignment with out having to keep moving around to find it... or think about it.. it is just there.
The analogy about Lance Armstrong and the bike was SPOT ON... Any kid can ride a bike, just about any bike, but if you are going to park you butt on it and ride all day, and be competitive, or able to walk the next day... it better fit... That is why all midrange to upper end bikes have adjustable seats, seat posts, handlebars, and risers.. to make it fit...
