No shoulder problems at the time, or now but back in the 90's I made a lot of trips to South America and usually used a 12ga Citori. I had a P.A.S.T. recoil pad with harness to spread out the recoil from thousands of pretty strong shells every day. It was satisfactory in every way. Except it looks a little like a brazier when you put it on.
I've seen guys shoot doves down there with no shooting preparation, and the results are grizzly. One dentist got a blue/black bruise over his entire shoulder. BY the end of the week he was using his not insubstantial wallet duct taped to his shoulder...Geo
