try one handed shot.... with a scope that has about 2 inches of eye relief. I couldnt get in the right position, so I had to shoot 1 handed. And my little 20 gauge is about 30 inches long and is a single shot... it feels much better, altho theres still some pressure there. oh well. Firearms season is over now, and I dont have to shoot it again until Summer or fall... Unless I wanna go squirrel hunting or rabbit hunting.
