But perhaps I am just peeing against the wind & need to just start aiming along the top.

Alison used to turn her gun on it's side when she aimed so that the biggest variable of the aim was aligned with the long axis of the fish. It certainly is a technique that has worked when I tried it with my old Rob Allen. It has had me thinking recently with all this gun design talk that another option would be to have the shaft mounted on the side of a gun. That way you wouldn't have to cant your hand over and the gun could be kept very low profile to aid any swinging needed
