after my last few outtings for target practice, and putting around 100 rounds through my 870, i've noticed that my bicep was bruising along with my shoulder. the shoulder is understandable, obviously, but i was kind of wondering about the bicep. I have the knoxx copstock on my 870, and for those unfamiliar, its a wire frame folder. when shouldering, what am i supposed to do with my right arm? (i'm right handed and shoot right handed) Am i supposed to hold the elbow close to my torso, or am i supposed to raise it out at more of a 90 degree angle away from my body?
i spent years and years playing paintball, so its almost second nature to try and pull that elbow in as close as i can to my body, and i think its causing my bicep to come into contact with the bottom of the wire frame during recoil.
