RE: tips for controlling kick
Couple of ways
Lighter recoiling loads
Go from a 3" 1 1/4 oz load to 3" 1 1/8 oz or even better to a 2 3/4" 1 or 1 1/16 oz fast load
Increase the weight of the gun
Lead in the butt stock
And or replacing your duck plug with a lead rod
I made several of them years back by filling capped 3/8" copper tubeing with lead and cutting it to length
Tapper the ends
Change to a gas gun , 11/87 , 935 Ect
As a gas gun has a lower FELT recoil
A better recoil pad as listed above
Or a in shirt or strap on pad
Add a bunch of practice and you should be in good shape
