The recoil doesn't get enough credit. 12ga slugs and buckshot are absolutely brutal on the shoulder

...you're one of those guys who shoots buck heavy loads with the same form as bird aren't you

If you don't need to prepare for a followup shot, relax your back muscles and deltoid. If you are still holding the gun tightly to your shoulder, your body will eat the recoil rather than the front of your shoulder.
