I think short term that pad looks fine, and why would'nt it. However, not certain how it will hold up without some sort of cover. It is probaby just as nice and cushy as a roll of charmin and maybe as about as durable without the leather cover.

Agree with you about getting that other leather cover off. I think it was a stretch calling it leather. I forget the what they call that stuff but its essentially ground up leather that is then pressed into a sheet then painted. It is not very hard wearng stuff and that is why wore out and wore through.

I think that goat skin will wear better and develop a nice patina with use and care.

Given the age of that, i am surprised you were able to save it and have it end up as nice looking as it is.

After several sessions on the range, I'm now convinced that the pad is good as it is. As a result, I now have a goatskin which I don't need. I've got about $20 in it. I'll send it to you for $12

interesting - have not looked for this in years- fly fishing shops used to carry it - it was the glue to use to attach felt soles

but looking around - the original formula (red and yellow packaging) seems to be harder to find now days- even the maker's site only sells the new blue package version
