I agree, now it isn't a primary position, or shooting method, but it's always good to have the knowledge. in one of my basic shotgun classes last year, I had a pregnant woman who perfered hip shooting to shoulder shooting.
She didn't like shoulder shooting because she thought she might do something to the baby, with the force of the shotgun kick ( we were using 12 gauges..the one day I didn't bring a 410). Like you I perfer on the shoulder, peering down my ghost ring, but you never know when alternative methods may be needed.

I agree 100%

I'm all for shooting from various positions, and the secondary side, etc....

It just goes to reiterate that the guy who started this thread should go to a good gun course, for ANY weapon that he purchases.
