If I shot over a pointer, I could use a longer gun since I could set my feet and position the gun properly (low or high), comb my hair, adjust my collar, set my glasses back on the bridge of my nose, clear my throat and call for the dog to flush the bird. (I'm gonna need the football helmet)

Chuck, Chuck, Chuck. You should know that most pointing dog owners have pulled their hair out, and thus there is nothing to comb.
