Many factors influence how you should shoulder your shotgun. The way you shoulder your gun will depend on what your personal preferences are, how the target is shot and how well you shoot. Your preference may be to either hold your shotgun up against your cheeks or with it against your body. You can carry your shotgun in any way you like, but make sure that your body is securely coiled around it. To securely hold your shotgun in your hands, bring the stock of your gun to your cheek.

Optimum placement of buttstock

Proper shoulder positioning is important when shooting shotguns. The shooter must place his entire hand on gun's grip to create a firm "handshake" strength hold. The shooter's index finger should be placed between the trigger finger and the crease in the first joint. This is the best placement for the buttstock. The shoulder pocket should have the buttstock. The buttstock might not fit into the shoulder pocket if the shotgun's shoulder is too big.

While a combat shotgun is intended for offensive purposes, a noncombat gun is for defensive purposes. This shotgun is not suitable for hunting large game because it has a short range.
