I've been shooting shotties for over 30 years and when I don't hold it properly (read loose) I hurts.
I tried to hold it a few ways and no difference, and I stand by my statement.
I know exactly what you mean RePete, and I must agree.
To some, these new tech stocks are the next best slice of bread. To some of us old hammers, they are a solution for something we didn't have a problem with in the first place.
Hold that gun tight to your shoulder, private!
Sure, these new fangled spring loaded commodities do what they claim, if you just so happen not to shoulder your gun properly. They sure look cool, tactical, yada, yada ...
What RePete is hurting himself to say, is that if you got some advice on how to shoulder a firearm correctly, you wouldn't have pain after a million shells downrange.
People don't seem to want advice, especially this young generation, so the stock makers came out with an idiot proof, springloaded buttstock to pacify the pain in your shoulder and your pocketbook.
How do I know this?
I tried counselling a shooter at a three gun match not to hold his buttstock on his bicept when firing. You know how some shooters hang over the side of the barricade with 3/4 of their gun ahead of the barricade instead of cutting the pie?? -- He looked in pain as he strained his neck for his cheek to meet the buttstock.
He dissed me saying he's been shooting for a million years. He didn't see the bruise running from his shoulder to his elbow untill I pointed that his million years experience is going to give him gangarine if he didn't get attention for his arm right of way.
So thought some of you guys have different opinions, consider that OLD GUYS KNOW STUFF.
