Am I mounting my shotgun wrong?

I would bet on not pulling it in tight enough. Picture looks fine as long as you are comfortable in the position.

Is mounting my shotgun wrong?

Well... Do ya think thats a bit personal for a public forum?

I guess it depends which end.

[QUOTE=boxcutter3005;10837686]Hi Guys, I just participated in the so cal skeet clinic and the next morning I noticed a few bruises. The one in my shoulder I expected, I bruise easily, but I can't explain the one on my bicep (see picture). I'm guessing I am mounting my shotgun wrong?

Coach and I are both sorry that you were not satisfied with, and did not have confidence in the instruction provided at the clinic. Coach will happily refund your $20 so you can find an instructor that you are satisfied with, and have confidence in.

Oh no, please dont misunderstand what I have written as a criticism on the teaching you and coach don have given me. I am very pleased with it. I was just puzzled at the bruise that showed up on my bicep. I was investigating if i was personally maybe doing small things that you and coach Don may not have seen. I am very happy with the instruction you provided me.

Do you have your elbow pointed towards the ground when you shoot? Elbow should be pointed out to the right.

I agree, Elbow at a 90 degree angle from the body, makes a nice pocket for the shotgun butt to fit into, makes it easier to have a smooth swing, also I think less felt recoil. Works well for all shotgun sports.

Please do not take this as any criticism or lack of confidence in the coaches at the clinic. I had a great time, great instruction, and came away with tools to become a better skeet shooter, these coaches are amazing. I apologize to Coach Don and Coach Richard for any offense i have communicated.

Jesus Dick, talk about an over reaction. All the guy did was ask about a bruise.

I know I goof on skeet shooters, but that's over the line, even for me.
