How to Properly Shoulder a Shotgun

Shouldering a shotgun like a Benelli M4 is quite different than shouldering a rifle. Shotguns can often have more kick, and you will be using a shotgun more frequently while hunting waterfowl than you will than a rifle while shooting deer. Using an AR at the range has nowhere near the same recoil to deal with. That means you need to have a proper fit, or you are going to be carrying bruises for a few days. With the proper shouldering, your body will absorb the recoil properly, helping you feel it less and keep your aim for any follow-up shots. Here is what you need to know.
