Well I'd have sworn I stripped the old pad off but guess I didn't cause it's still on there. Never fired the gun before, bought it in a moment of weakness due to the long barrels. Handling it a bit to get used to the light weight and happened to realize it's got a non automatic safety which I'm definitely not used to. Should be an interesting afternoon like I said......

Just remember Destry, it's not the shot, it's the shooter. You'll do just fine. Like Scott, I've shot lots of ducks and geese with my 20 using KM scavenged from 12ga factory loads in 5's. If you were closer you would be welcome to use my 1 frame 32" DHE . At least someone in my family would get to hunt at one of those fancy clubs.
