I can shoot an AR all day comfortably. I can shoot my 12ga 3 or 4 times before my shoulder is bruised.

I find the idea that the shotgun has faded away because of the AR"s "supremacy" hilarious.

These old guys at the gun club do 12 stations and shoot at least 4 clays at each station, so that's shooting at least 48 times during a course.
I can shoot my 12 ga dozens of times before I get a bruised shoulder, and I'm on blood thinners so I bruise very, very easily. I'm also shooting full power hunting loads, not light target loads.I can shoot an AR all day comfortably. I can shoot my 12ga 3 or 4 times before my shoulder is bruised.
And if that doesn't work, try a Limbsaver or similar recoil pad. Those things are amazing in how much recoil punishment they soak up. The Limbsaver slip-ones are fugly, but they work really well.You need to be sure the gun fits you, and be sure that you are mounting it correctly.

If you aren't already, try putting forward pressure on the forend and pulling rearward on the grip. That tension goes a long way in saving your shoulder. It's a new muscle memory to learn, but well worth it in my experience.

Right?
