Had major shoulder reconstruction surgery. Was able to shoot rifles in 6 months. Evoshield make a shoulder pad for us guys. Search “Evoshield for Shoulders” . Kit comes with a tight fitting pull over stretch shirt with a pocket built in front of the shoulder. There is a form fitting shield that you fit to your gun butt and shoulder contour. Remove from airtight packet and place in pocket, form again and allow the shield to harden. Hardens in a short time. Just follow instructions. Protects the shoulder really well by spreading out the recoil impact. I am healed now but will use the shield at the range for various guns. I hunt with 7mm mags and 30-06s.

I heard about them from friends using them on Argentina bird hunts which allowed them to short all day. Several of my friend have had shoulder surgeries and all bought the Evoshield kit. They are comfortable meaning you can wear all day if you want to.
