Looking at these videos might give you some ideas of how to shoot PG only shotgun:

Unfortunately there is no direct example, but judging by the look, he doesn't use stock to absorb a recoil.
Disclamer:
I'm not affiliated with CAR and never recived any training from them, but read their materials and tried to imitate his stance from the video and pictures. With my Wichester 1300 it felt pretty manageable and accurate for the short distances. Even my petite wife scored a few good series shooting like that, and it was the only comfortable stance for her, because of the long 14.5" LOP of the stock.
 
Thanks! I am suprised to have so many honest helpfull answers, my searches on more than a couple of boards came up with nothing. I remember why I spend so much time here.

I think I am going to cut and paste alot of your responces and print them out for my buddy. That way he can spend some time practicing technique and we will go shooting next weekend. They are very clearly explained and I am sure he will have no problem understanding them however if he dose you will be informed as I will do my best to update this thread with his progress. Hopefully the next person who is serious about learing to shoot a PG will have this thread as a starting point.

You should be a good friend and buy your buddy a cheap shoulder stock and tell him to stop watching cheezy action movies. Or he could buy a pair of cheap auto pistols and shoot them, one in each hand, while he dives sideways behind barriers scoring great hits all the while.....

I would like this to be a helpful thread, not just for my friend but for anyone else that may end up doing a search on this subject. This is by far the most concentrated source of PG shotgunning information I have found on the internet. I would prefer this thread not to be diluted with the same comments every other unhelpfull thread involving pistol grip shotguns on the internet is comprised of. I do appreciate your grip reccomendation but not insulting comment; that is not what THR is about. Remember that not everyone has the same needs or perceptions that you do.
