psyclone Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 You can also use the pad thickness to adjust your pattern and slug impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm high on pattern board does cheek pad raise or lower POI? havent gone to long range yet to test slugs Think of your eye as the rear sight on a shotgun. If you are already high with pellets, then consider lowering the butt stock with shims, as raising your eye via a cheek pad will raise your point of impact. Might also move it to left if you are right handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPatton Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I've found a pad to be useful in making my Benelli more comfortable to mount rapidly when shooting 3gun. Mounting the gun rapidly, I would ocassionaly smack my cheek bone. A 1/8" pad fixed that problem without changing my sight picture for slugs. I'm using a Ruger 10/22 rear sight so my head has to be in the same place every time. I shoot it like a rifle with the rear sight up. Missing static targets with a shotgun usually results from the shooter having his head up off the stock. If you can't get your head where it needs to be with a pad installed then make some other modification. You can experiment using an old mouse pad and see what works for you.
