Absolutely Dean... The diner is a morning ritual.

Jerry, how long do you plan to be in the Kingdom?

Dean- not long enough... just 4 days during the second week of October. How about you?

No definite plans, but as often as possible in October. Lyndonville is only a three hour drive from home so it's not really difficult to get there. We'll see what takes precedent this year - I want to get the new puppy exposed as much as possible to birds so there will be a lot of training and maybe not so much actual hunting for me as when I was dogless.

Getting back to the Galazan pad.. The large-size gamekeeper pad arrived today and is usable on my straight gripped 20 but not a snug fit. There is about 1/8" of play in the long axis and probably the same in the width. Velcro closure gets pretty tight but expect it will work a little loose with carry and the extra 1/8" play will become noticeable. Fits my 12 nicely -also straight gripped so, I'll just get another in size medium for the 20 ga. Hope this helps someone who is also considering this product.

To close the loop on this, I'm glad to report that the current medium size game keeper pad from Galazan fits my straight grip 20 ga. perfectly.

Hhmmm, where have I read that before?
