I find quail much easier than grouse for all the reasons Buzz mentions. If you even stop to think about your mount and form, you are done so far as 90% of grouse opportunities go. Quail usually give me a long look and there are usually a good handful of them, so if I am am not on the first bird, the second, third, or 14th should do.

I am still looking for the biomechanical reasons straight stocks are faster. I do not see any difference. But weight and balance certainly make a difference and the physics for that is quite obvious.
