[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 1859351, member: 21524"] Do you shoot well that way? Can you already spot your own shots? If so then honestly it’s fine. Sometimes it’s also a terrain issue. I.e. you physically can’t get square behind the rifle, and then you shoot how you can. If not, then if it was me I would square up more behind the gun. Whenever possible point the rifle at the target, and then lay straight behind the rifle. Put the butt/recoil pad high and medial on your clavicle (basically puts the rifle as central as is comfortable on your body). This shooting position does a LOT mitigate recoil. Your whole body is stacked against the rifle and it has to shove through all of it instead of just pushing your shoulder back. If it’s hard to do then put a pack or something under your chest and get your chest and belly a little off the ground. That helps both with the translation of your heartbeat to your weapon and puts your head in a more comfortable position. I.e. you won’t have to crane your neck as much. [/QUOTE]
