Bicep recoil pad

[rlewpolar]

Just shot my new Mossberg 590a1 today using a combination of slugs, 00 buck and birdshot. Loved it.

I am also using an EVoShield shooting shirt. Even with slugs, not one bit of discomfort in the shoulder area. Anyone who is looking for something to reduce or eliminate the kick of a 12 gauge should check out the shirt.

My only problem is that my bicep is hitting the stock when firing. I have fairly defined biceps (bodybuilder) and no matter how I alter my shooting position, it's touching the stock and taking a beating.

Can anyone recommend a protective pad for the bicep? Most of the hit was in the upper part of the bicep. If I can get protection in this area, I think I could probably shoot the Mossy all day with no ill effects. Thanks for any recommendations.

Maybe the way your are holding it needs to change. Have an experienced shooter watch you shoot it.

Could be right. Anyone else having this problem?

No such thing as a bicep pad ....nobody would need one.

I see it all the time, bad gun mount. Bad mount maybe due to bad gun fit. How tall you are and your chest size may require a bit of gun fitting from the off the shelf sizeing. Brused bicep is a sure sign of one or both

And the shirt is a retake on the shooting vest...heres one for 1/2 the price of the shirt and easier to put on and off

It sounds like the butt stock is not placed correctly on your shoulder if your bicep is getting hit.
Try this -- Stick your shooting arm straight out, now insert the butt stock into your shoulder, there should be a flat spot, on/above your pec muscle, on top of your collar bone.
See if that helps.

Definitely sounds like a gun problem. They're too huge.

Keep the elbow up, similar to the picture below.

Sounds like you have your right elbow too low. Raise it up and get the buttstock in the pocket, not on the shoulder.

Aha! That was my problem. Was dropping my elbow. My first shotgun and apparently I have some things to learn. Thanks for the responses.
