Haha, absolutely! If only it were that easy every time. Practice really is key, especially with all the nuances involved.
One common error is not positioning the stock correctly on the shoulder. Aim for the meaty part of your shoulder, not just anywhere. It enhances control and accuracy significantly.
Thatās a great point! Many shooters underestimate how crucial shoulder placement is. I also suggest practicing with dummy rounds to get comfortable with proper shouldering without the distraction of recoil.
Another mistake is failing to keep a steady stance. A weak stance leads to a lack of control on recoil. Drills focusing on foot positioning can drastically improve this.

Absolutely! Footwork is often neglected. Adding a few agility drills can do wonders. 
Itās important to note that everyoneās build is different, and modifications may be necessary. Reflecting on oneās stance and grip can lead to improvements tailored to individual needs.
Yes, Lindsey! Personalization is key. You could be doing everything right, but if your shotgun isnāt fitted to you, itās less effective. Anyone tried different stocks?
Iāve been adjusting my shotgunās length of pull, and it makes a big difference! Makes it feel like an extension of my body.
That sounds promising! I always thought adjusting the stock was mainly for comfort, but I see now it affects accuracy too.
Does anyone have a favorite drill for shouldering? Iāve been struggling with consistency, and I could use some new ideas.

I like the ā3-2-1ā drill! It involves shouldering from three different positionsāstanding, kneeling, and crouched. It really helps in adapting your technique under varied conditions!
