-lol, that's what got me into custom stocks and bowyery. My kids have a running zoo joke about daddy visiting his cuzzos in the orangutan exhibit. You cant buy a shelf bow outside of 27 1/2 inch draw, but I have a 38 inch target draw, and a 62 inch volley off the chest for rings. Perpetually choked up on production guns and bows to the point that it impacts my accuracy. Great for long rifle season though! Lead arm's only 10 inches off-muzzle, lol.
You can get extenders and a pad rest, drill em in. It'll accommodate and save you alot of shoulder. It's just flat out nicer to have something made to fit, especially with shotties where the long-armed are constantly shooting low.
I have a 6'-0" span and I'm 5'-9". I'm only shooting a .22, so not worried about the shoulder. I bought a butt pad that slipped over the stock, but it was too goofy-looking so I took it off. It's a carbine, but deadly accurate. I can get slugs through the paper in almost the same hole in a given set of bulls on one sheet. Admittedly, that's only at 50 feet, but that's about 1.26 MoA if they punch through side by side.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
