whats the secret to shooting this?

[Cruisers460]

Ok, I've shot a lot of stuff over the years. Recently i picked up a Mossberg maverick 88 12 ga. pump with the pistol grip. Not because I really wanted one, the price was just to good to say no. Yesterday I shot it, three times with some high brass no 5's that i had laying around.The reason I shot it three times? Cause I didn't want to shoot it four. Made my wrist sting like hell! I've heard that you didn't fight the recoil on these an that you just let it go. Didn't work. So what is the secret other than low brass shells? An does anyone have a stock they don't want!

I gots me an ATI topfolder for mine. Still got that pistol grip length with the optional shoulder stock.

Are you shooting from the hip or holding as if it had a stock on it?

it's gonna have to have a shoulder stock if I keep it!

I was told that you are supposed to curse extremely loud when you pull the trigger, it helps with the wrist pain.

Hip of course! My 24 year old shot it, dang that hurts....let me shoot it again! 15 rounds later he admitted his wrists felt like they were on fire.

Nope, didn't help at all! I'm about ready to call BS on all the folks I've heard shoot buckshot in theirs!

Hold on tight and bite a rag. Or put a stock on it.

It's a beast with pistol grip only, no doubt. Just get a Mossberg 500 stock for $20 somewhere and throw it on there.
