Anybody remember "Roland" who hung around the Shotgun Sports board and had a pamphlet on gunfit which he hawked around the internet? If I remember correctly, the thinking of said gent was that pitch effected POI in that a long-toed gun would slip down in the shoulder pocket and shoot high of POA and a long-heeled gun low. I think his unstated premise was that recoil and slippage on shoulder was taking place before the charge exited the bore. This has never made much sense to me as "equal and opposite reaction" certainly doesn't mean that the gun will recoil at 1200fps or even that it will get underway simultaneously with movement of the shot charge. However, to cloud the picture further, old Gough Thomas Garwood thought that flexure in the hand of very thin stocks also made guns shoot low and you'd certainly have to premise that kind of speculation on the idea that all sorts of recoil effects occur damn skippy as it were. Thoughts? Off to shoot skeet right now. Sal is probably home and dry after his "day" of shooting.
