I underwent rotator cuff surgery and the doc said no hunting....what???
Well I went to a monopod to hold the gun. My surgery was on my left shoulder and I am a right hand shooter. The doc was worried that if I held the gun in with my left arm the recoil would damage the left shoulder. I had told the doc the butt rests against the right shoulder there is nothing to worry about.
So - I shot one handed only for turkey hunting and have ever since. I bungee cord the gun to the monopod by wrapping a thin bungee cord around the forearm of the forestock to the Primos trigger stick. Once corded I adjust up and down to the decoy and then just set it down against the blind. When the bird approaches pick the gun up and you can pivot enough to sight in one handed very easily - gun won't jump one fired and if a second shot is needed you are still on the bird you can swing quickly. My left hand I just grab my shirt for stability. Worked like a charm.
But it did take practice.

I also do use it for a Xbow. For the Xbow I rest the forearm on the trigger stick as there is not much there to bungee to but it works.
