The guns that I chose to have adjustable combs installed on fit quite well, but not quite perfect, so I wanted to fine tune them, to see if it would make a difference in my scores. I didn't really notice any significant difference in my scores after the combs were installed. Other shotguns that I shouldered were not even close to fitting, and a couple did not even have enough drop at comb despite the comb being adjustable. If the stock does not have enough drop at comb, it's not simply a matter of adding moleskin or duct tape, you actually need to remove material to make them fit, and with a cheap plastic stock, that isn't easy to do. As far as choosing a shotgun for clays, the odds of success drop off dramatically when the shotgun is not pointing where the shooter is looking, so why not choose a gun where the gun points as close as possible to where the shooter is looking, rather than just choosing a random gun, with no concern for how it fits?
As far as misses go, according to the scorecard, it's not a miss if the target breaks, and the difference between the target breaking or not when a decent shooter misses, is usually inches, especially with the small gauges.. Even clean rounds don't mean that the shooter was perfect they just mean that he was close enough.
