Astute observation. Can usually tell who is going to get their snot loosened at a shooting bench. If a shooter seems receptive, will suggest they get more vertical. Sometimes lower bench/chair. Sometimes elevate rests. Whatever gets them there. Anatomy and stock dimensions dictate head position. Sometimes eye relief of a particular scope/mount setup has too much to say about it. Will sometimes suggest "alterations", as is fundamental to the shotgunner.
