[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 235668, member: 1485"] I don't have time to run through all the replies at the moment, so apologies if this has already been mentioned. Get your gun fitted. I struggled like crazy all through high school and college shooting my 870. It was frustrating has hell, and didn't seem to matter how much shooting I got in or how often I practiced.

It was like night and day, and almost instantly. I think the softer cheek pad helped, too. With my 870, I instinctively shot with my cheek off the stock.
