Marketing does play a part, but like PJR says, it's fit,fit,fit that's the big reason.

The adjustable whatevers can get us more into the gun, a good thing, but they will not substitute for good form and techniques.

And the temptation to mess with the settings when we hit a slump is well nigh irresistible.

Best to get it right and toss the Allen keys.

I do know folks who can add/subtract the right number of spacers to take their singles trap gun to the 26 yard line, but it's a much smaller number than those who have adjustable combs.

Best fit for an individual is also going to vary by game. Trap guns are made to impact higher than Skeet or SC guns, and a field gun oft is best with a 50/50 POI.
