After an afternoon of shooting clay birds the right side of my face (cheek bone) hurts. I shoot right handed.
shotgun is a remington 870 police (wood stock) 26 inch barrel. shooting winchester AA 7 1/2 light loads. Sometimes my finger tips of my right hand come back and hit my mouth .
I'm wondering if I'm too accustomed to relaxing and shooting a rifle off hand and perhaps not holding the shotgun tight enough against the recoil. How tight should I hold a shot gun and should I be laying my cheek on the stock?
