The shot you describe I've made on Ruffed Grouse more times than I would want to know if I could. I've made them with Remington's 870"s, Winchester 101's, Model 12's and 59's, original and Repo Parkers, Beretta's, Ithaca 37's and perhaps another one or two. Pumps, semi-auto and SxS. Made them with my head on the stock and off the stock. Perfect foot placements and mounts can be sometimes difficult to find in the Grouse wood. All probably had different dimensions. Close, but different and definitely not perfect. Impossible? Obviously not. Some had the element of luck involved, some didn't. Some where only successful because a good Dog saved the day.
Perfect is great, close is damn good when it comes to a hunting shotgun. With the clay target sports as close to perfect as you can get should be the goal.
