ouch remington 870 hammer

Just shot about 50-60rds out of my 12ga, and my shoulder is bumpin. What works good for recoil reduction on this model? All help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Shooting light loads will get you the best recoil reduction. Installing a premium after market recoil pad will help reduce felt recoil.

Yep limb saver is a favorite of mine.

Just put your big girl panties on and correct your hold. For me, the best way to keep from bruising is to keep the butt against the shoulder/chest and not let the recoil cause the butt to "hit" you. It should be a push.

there are stocks with internal shock springs and then a butt padd on the end, but i kinda agree with asmotao.. put ur big boy pants on [Coffee]

A couple of years back, a friend of mine had Sporting clays as his bachelor party. we warmed up with 25 rounds on the Trap range, then shot 100 rounds on the Sporting Clays course. I was shooting my sole shotgun, an 870. I was a little sore the next day, but not horribly bruised. I have the original stock on it, with a 1/4 rubber spacer pad on the end to get the length of pull where it's comfortable.

How did you know I was big? I did have it up against my shoulder, but have a huge peni oh I mean bruise. I'll try the limb saver. Thanks to all the guys who answered. You too ass-motao. [Beer]
