I have a number of guns and have always been able to shoot them pretty well. I shoot skeet(all gauges) and trap(16yd) in the 90's and never thought much about length of pull. I've seen folks trying to shoot even the 1100's and the stock was too long for them and it definitely affected their shooting. I'm 5'10" and average build and can pick up an 1100, Bt99 or 390 and they feel fine but wonder if I change the length of pull if it will help my scores? So I would like for someone to tell me how length of pull is determined. Thanks Jackie B.

What matters in determining the correct stock length is the length of your neck as the length of pull dictates where your head, which contains the gun's rear sight (your eye), will be on the comb. Longer necks need longer stocks; arm length has nothing to do with it.
I had a stock made to fit me by Wenig's and had a local stockmaker fit a rifle to my daughter-in-law - in neither case was arm length a consideration.
