Shooting style seems to work fine with my 870 slug gun... Although I'm firing hornady sst at 2000fps.

I didn't know that there was an issue with velocity and recoil as you are implying.. I always thought it didn't matter what weapon you were firing, the projectile was long gone before the kick happened.
Nope. And it don't matter what slug or how fast its going is irrelevant. The recoil begins the instant the powder begins to ignite, long before the projectile departs the barrel. And holding the weapon loosely will without question have an ill affect on the accuracy of that projectiles ability. You must maintain a snug hold upon that weapon, not gorilla grip it, just snug into the shoulder pocket by firmly pulling straight back into the shoulder by both the stock and forearm. Squeeze the shot off after aquiring correct sight picture.
