I know the only way to know the exact stock length that you need is a proper fitting but is there any sort of rule of thumb that may help?

I always seem to get whacked on the cheek when I shoot and I am beginning to suspect that the stock is simply too short. If I shoot a full 100 shot round of sporting clays I have a knot on my cheek the size of a marble and it stays for 2-3 days.

I usually am shooting either a A grade fox with a stock length of 14 1/8" and a drop DAH of 2 1/2" or a Sterlingworth Field gun with a stock length of 14" and a DAH of 3".

I am 6'3" with a shirt sleeve length of 37". Does anyone else think that stock length may be the cause of my troubles?

Thanks in advance for any help or tips.
