Pull the butt of the stock firmly into the pocket of your shoulder. If the butt is free to move, when the gun fires, it will be moving at speed when it hits (and hurts) your shoulder. However, when it is pulled snugly against your shoulder, it will push, but not hit.

hold the rifle pressed against your shoulder tightly, but not to tight. you don't want the recoil to injure you, but you also don't want to mess up your aim with every tiny motion. hold it firmly and kind of let it float if you understand what I'm saying.
