This will be a silly question for many of you, and even to me, but I never asked the question in my life because it seems like a silly idea. But why wouldn't you use a turkey stock (i.e stock with vertical grip. see pic) on your shotgun at a trap/skeet range? What are the big disadvantages?
Here's why I ask: My wife has a Rem 870 shotgun. She doesn't hunt ducks, dove or other flying birds but she loves to turkey hunt. She also loves to shoot trap (she's not huge into skeet). I've brought this up in a older thread, but she's short, so I have her gun set up with a short youth stock. Even so, she still has to reach out with almost a locked elbow to grab the forend. This is why she doesn't shoot skeet or flying birds since she can't get a follow up shot in quickly. I found the forend (see pic) that is enlongated and will make it easier for her to reach out and pump the gun. I can't find the forend by itself and it comes with that turkey stock. So I'm debating about setting her gun up for turkey permanently since that's all she likes to hunt. But would it screw up her trap game? Would she be ridiculed horribly at the range to where she won't want to go anymore?
