I would like to thank everyone for their input it's been one week now since I fired 20 rounds thru my rifle at the range and my shoulder is still black/blue/yellow. In another week my PAST shoulder pad will be here and that coupled with a custom fitted SVL limbsaver recoil pad installed I will try to zero my rifle in again. Nope not as young as when I qualified Expert with an M-14, M-16 in the Marine Corps but I did remember that we wore shooting jackets at the range. I do take blood thinners after bypass and I am not as young now but ain't it great not to be as stupid as when I was young. That's why I sought advice from experience like you guys.
Thanks
