Hmmm . . . I believe Mr. Batha also does the writing/shooting thing for a living.
One does have to be careful and always chew one's Redman in the offside cheek so as not to change the cast.
As for the LOP thing, Wonk . . . assuming that I hunt (that's shooting live, wild birds) with a shotgun just a bit more than you--and I believe that's a very safe assumption--I'll certainly put my credentials up against yours when it comes to LOP issues for a FIELD gun. And I can quote you at least half a dozen other serious HUNTERS who write who will also tell you that incorrect LOP--especially if it's in the too long direction--will result in all kinds of gun mount issues when hunting. Obviously, those aren't the same issues one faces when one already has the gun mounted before yelling "pull".
