had a major shoulder surgery 7 months ago and there is still a tender spot that will almost take your breath away with pain from the recoil of a trap load if the recoil pad hits it just right. i've put a better recoil pad on my shotgun and that has been a help but i just want to be able to shoot clays and my upper limit for rifles is a 30-06 and a 35 marlin xlr. has any one been down this road before and what have you done to deal with it? i don't want to get rid of everything but rimfires, a hornet and 222. maybe i'll have to shoot southpaw from now on.
