I don't think I'll be using a shotgun to CTB and every guide says it's best to aim for the brain stem. what's the best position to aim for the brain stem? I was thinking of shooting myself from the side just behind the ear.

Back of the throat angled up about 35°.

Depends. If the barrel is bulky, then DO NOT go through the mouth. That's a perfect way to misfire and really mess yourself up. Don't overthink it. Anything 9mm and up in between the eyes or the temporal area will do the job. Be sure to use JHP.

This not might be feasible if you copy the 1444 method

The most effective trajectories to target the brainstem include aiming from the back of the skull at the base of the neck (suboccipital region) with a direct trajectory inward following the axis of the spinal column, behind the ear by placing the shot immediately in the mastoid region and angling slightly diagonally toward the center of the skull, or from inside the mouth by inserting the barrel into the mouth and aiming upward toward the soft palate at an angle that passes through the base of the skull and reaches the brainstem. Extreme precision is essential as the brainstem is a small structure protected by robust bones.
