Default Recoil project

hey for an upcoming science fair i was thinking of doing an experiment on felt recoil in slugs. i have decided id go with all remington slugs for the test at least to begin so that they are in a nut shell the same tho different types. im going to use regular rifled, high vel. rifled, and reduced rifled. but my question is does anyone really know a good way of testing the difference? What i have come up with so far is to take a piece of styrofoam and place it between my shoulder and the gun butt. will this work or do i need to change it? and if so either way what are different ways to do it and/or improve it? i think in the begining ill only stick to one brand but if i get it to work well and the shoulder can take it i may try federals or win or someothers. any comments or ideas very much appreciated!
