Easy way to check for length of pull is to put the gun up with your eyes closed, and have someone check the distance from your thumb to your nose.
Two fingers is normally about good.
You shouldn't have to crane your neck forward, nor hold your head back on the comb of the stock.
Pad of the ndex finger should sit on the trigger, your left hand on the fore end with your arm at or slightly less than 90 degrees at the elbow.

As far as drop at comb goes, most field guns are lower in the comb that trap guns, so the bird has to be covered a bit more.
Field guns work very well for skeet .
I shoot my filed guns at both trap and skeet, however.
