    Fitting a recoil pad

    I've always taken the easy way out and have put up with the std recoil pad

    However I have got the Mrs a Hot Pink pad for her Skeet gun.
    Its a Kick-eez grind to fit
    Name: pink-sporting-clay.jpg Views: 808 Size: 18.7 KB

    I get that you rough shape it 1st and fit to stock, but the final shaping on the stock is a bit daunting - not that keen on getting the grinder close to the nice timber!

    Whats your tricks?

    Draw round the skeet gun butt with fine tip marker onto a stiff, thin cardboard, or light tin, then cut out profile carefully, match new pad to profile as required, then fit. . . .

    Are you shortening the length of pull at all for her? If you were you could use the off cut as a template then transfer the finished pad.

    I used 400 on an pneumatic sander of Leathel's to finish, and a little WD40. Came up good.
