I shoot quite a few clay pigeons, nothing fancy just a bunch of friends up a canyon with a hand thrower, and I grew up bird hunting. Recoil has never been a problem for me. In fact I find it fun.
However, once in a while while shooting heavier loads something will go wrong and I will jam myself painfully in the cheek during recoil. This doesn't happen often, and usually only when I'm thinking about it. When I just let it flow naturally I don't have this problem.
So whats the key to a good cheek weld, any tips or pointers from you experienced shotgunners? Dave? (By the way excellent post on shouldering) Others?
Thanks.
