They make pads that you can wear on your shoulder. I just got one at the local sportsman's center here. I need it when I'm shooting my slug gun. I don't care who calls me a sissy. It helps me make a more accurate shot, and if anyone calls me out on it I will load a tube full of those core-lokt slugs and let them take 3 quick shots. They would pay me to rent the recoil pad lol.
