I put vaseline on my shoulder when I'm going to do some heavy shooting. It keeps your clothing from chapping your skin as the recoil rubs it against you. Nobody realizes it, but half of a sore shooting shoulder is from this. Also putting a dab on the comb of the stock where it touches your face will almost completely do away with soreness in that area.
