Shotgun recoil is no joke

I went to pattern my 12 gauge for turkey season and after about 15 rounds my shoulder was done. I'm not soft but that gun beats me up. Do you guys just deal with it or is there a way to make it suck less?

You’re not soft, 12 gauge turkey loads hit hard.

Glad it’s not just me, those magnum loads feel like getting punched repeatedly.
