i was told from a qualified expert shooting ar's this weekend that the bottom of your butt stock needs to be on your collar bone when shooting, basically most of your rifle stock is off your body up there. Does everyone else shoot like this?

Negative. I shoot an AR/AK like I do my hunting rifle. I would not be surprised to find out that this is wrong, just how I do it. I did not go through a 13 week training course either.

I shoot like this. Was never instructed to do so, just how my stock naturally sits on me.

I would say no. When shooting with Iron Sights I was taught, by a guy in BDU's with a This We'll Defend patch, cheek to stock, nose to charging handle. When shooting with a scope when you raise the rifle the scope should come easily into view, with no shadow, allowing you to see the target through the scope. The relationship between cheek weld,eye relif and trigger pull is dependent on the person and proper fit between scope and rifle and therefore different from person to person.
