Rifle butt that is.
I have always placed the butt of the rifle on my shoulder (except those times when a fast shot with the shotgun ended up with the butt between my shoulder and bicep!)
I've noticed that alot of muzzle loaders seem to like the upper arm for resting the rifle butt instead of the shoulder.
Was the upper arm rest the preferred way to shoot in the 1700-1800 period?
Or was it just (to each his own) way to shoot?
