Greetings,

I'm glad to see this topic discussed again. I too am getting beat up, but in the shoulder area. The pointy part at the bottom of the stock hits me right in the angle of my armpit. I have to wear a recoil pad now when I shoot trap. When the shotgun fires, the stock slips from the mounted position into my armpit. I have a bruise right at the lower juncture of my arm and chest from this.

I am 6'0", 210#,wear a 33" sleeve and a 17" neck. I am shooting a standard Mossberg 590A1, and I pre-mount it (still learning) before shouting "pull."

Any thoughts? Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Ledbetter
