Doctor's Rx: Reduce Felt Recoil & Bruising

[BET7]

Interesting article and tips on reducing felt recoil in Shotguns, etc. I went to rehab for torn rotator cuff injuries in both shoulders. After an hour of rehabbing, they would apply an ice pack wrapped in two knee ice pack wraps (since they were large enough to wrap around each shoulder). Boy was that cold sitting there for 10 minutes or so. But the rehab worked, and thankfully I have no pain or bruising shooting my shotgun or high powered rifles. For Sporting Clays, I do use a semi auto Stoeger shotgun, so I'm sure that helps with the recoil.

Good read, not a shotgunner myself, but good info

I had surgery on both my shoulders for torn rotater cuffs while on active duty. I noticed immediate relief later on, but stopped the heavy lifting. Had to give up bow hunting as well.

Good advise.
