Work on your mount. You may be bringing your
face down to the stock instead of bringing the shotgun up to eye level and shouldering the weapon from that position. It will seem strange because often the entire butt is not mated with your shoulder. It will in some cases result in only the lower half of the butt mating with your shoulder. This will not result in increased bruising.
Make sure what contacts your shoulder is placed snugly against your shoulder. Do not try to counter the recoil by "pushing" forward with your hands at the moment of firing.
Take an aggressive stance and lean forward slightly putting more weight on your forward leg which is slightly bent at the knee.
