Clay Target Tips
by Bill Mays

John Kirby is a champion clay target shooter and avid hunter. His tip for this month is have 2 different recoil pads for your shotgun or a spacer to add or remove, one for clay target shooting and the other for hunting. When hunters start tuning up on the clay target ranges just before hunting season, their shotgun is cut short for the heavy clothing worn during hunting season. When they take to the range with the short shotgun they don’t mount the shotgun properly and are not having success.
Kirby has 2 recoil pads, one for light clothing and one for heavy clothing. Remove the 2 screws on the bottom of the plate, (usually Phillips head screws) at the top and bottom of the recoil pad. Look for the 2 small holes in the rubber recoil pad to locate the screws.
