<< I don't believe that the style of grip leads to higher or lower shooting believing that drop at comb and heel dictate this allong with some influence from pitch. >>

I will agree it is not the grip per se that influences the point of shooting but the drop.

How ever, last night I was enjoying one of Kentucky's finer exports and looking at the rack on the wall. A rifle with pistol grip and splinter forearm, a gun with straight grip and splinter, and a gun with pistol grip and a rather thick splinter, but not quite thick enough to call it a semi beaver. But both the rifle and the second gun had more drop than the middle gun. I am thinking I generally see more drop on a pistol gripped gun than a straight grip. Either that or my imagination is getting over heated again.
