Default 870 shotgun fit test

with the addition of two layers of cheeck eez pads on cast, one on comb. my shooting with the gun went from 30/40% at under 40yds to hitting everything i shot at under 40yds and about 50% over 45yds. with a couple pointers from maverick maxcat to add to my success i was surprised when things i shot at did not fall. now i need some good camo tape to keep the pads in place. anyone know a good product.

Baltz:

I used a thin leather pad on a stock, I just made a pattern out of an old file folder. I also used two sided carpet tape to keep the leather pad from sliding around, and wet the leather laces when I laced it up. The problem with most of the commercial pads is that they are way too thick.

the allen camouflage tape 2"x10' roll is the hands down winner. durable cloth material forms the best of the three products and sticks best on installation
