I'll have to disagree with you there SRD. I shot skeet all the time with my KNOXX and hit in the 90% range. I'd put on my 28" barrell and 10 shot extension. Without anybody pulling for me. I'd pull with my left hand, shotgun all the way down at the ready with my right hand on the grip indexing my trigger finger on the reciever. Pull the string and let them fly, usually 2 at a time. I was able to get on target very quickly and take those clays out! It seemed to point very naturally for me.I have a knox stock and it would not work well for skeet. The angle is different when you would pull to target a standard stock points better in that application.
The stocks aren't bad to change. It's just a bolt from underneath. Usually just need a long screwdriver.How quickly can the stocks be changed if I buy the Knoxx anyways? I know the barrels are a 1 minute swap, but not sure about the stocks. I'd like this gun to be for HD and fun, so it needs to wear a couple different hats.
I shoot with some other XD guys and they can confirm that you can indeed shoot clays with an 18inch barrel and a knoxx pistol grip.I'll have to disagree with you there SRD.

It sounds like the OP's range just has some dumb rules. They may just be traditional types.
I shoot it, but not for skeet. I have an 18" barrel on my HD shotgun and I can't hit crap with it when trying to shoot skeet. Pull out my 28" barreled shotgun and it's all good.
Switch the barrell out to 26"-28". Try that for skeet and get back to me SRD.I have an 18in barrel that could be the problem as well. i just never felt the stock felt as good as a standard stock for skeet.
I never tried with my 18". I always put my 28" back on for skeet.I shoot with some other XD guys and they can confirm that you can indeed shoot clays with an 18inch barrel and a knoxx pistol grip.
I shoot them all the time! I actually find it easier but it may be just me.
