Waterfowl hunters face the problem of bulky winter clothing and many use a shortened stock length to accommodate their hunting parkas. But what happens when you need a bulky coat for colder, early morning conditions, but remove the coat for warmer, afternoon conditions? Try moving your front hand back an inch or two towards the receiver. This simple trick can make the gun feel noticeably shorter, and your gun will be one to two inches forward of your clothing when you start your mount.
