You're reminding me of a friend who is about your size. When we were at the range together, I noticed he was sitting at the bench directly behind the rifle. This is an awkward position. When we shoot from a standing position our body is facing the side of the rifle stock. So I asked him to move the stool to the side of the bench, and it was an awakening, shooting from the bench with the recoil not as painful.
