Getting yourself properly fitted and finding a proper LOP, among other things, is absolutely critical to shooting your best. Most gun stocks fall somewhere around the 14 to 14 1/2 inch LOP. I went to Grayco in Gravette, Arkansas, a company that makes and fits recoil stocks most often for trap and skeet shooters. They did a custom fitting for me and found that my normal LOP is 15 1/2 inches. A pretty long pull considering that I'm 5'11". But it sure did improve my shooting!
