Maybe a silly question, but are there any fixes for the pitch issue other than re-cutting the stock?

Duct tape a chipmonk to the bottom of the pad to even it out. Make sure you put a tiny muzzle on him though, otherwise it could be painful.

I suppose you could place a beveled black spacer first, if you can live with the look. It would also depend on how much you needed to correct. Steve

It also appears that the stock has a fair amount of drop. If you are having any thoughts of bending the stock to reduce drop, that will also reduce the pitch, so bend the stock first before correcting the pitch.

I had a recoil pad off of something or other that wasn't ventilated, and used a hacksaw to slice off a section at an angle, and my belt grinder to smooth it up a bit. Then, I stuck it on to my own Uggie with some contact cement. I've been playing with the pitch adustment as time allows (I have a new job, with hours all over the place, and I don't always feel like dealing with gun fit when I'm free, at least not until it cools down a bit around here) and I suspect my own Uggie would be just fine for me with zero to an inch of pitch, or so. I think it might move the impact up a bit on a gun with longer tubes, (they are 28" on my Uggie, and all I can figure out is the damn stock stays planted on my shoulder better) better for rising birds, but, I'm still playing with it.
After I figure out exactly what I want, I'll have a better recoil pad fitted.
For reasons I can't understand or explain, I can look at someone holding a gun and get pretty close on their stock dimensions, but, I struggle with my own-I'm left-handed and right eye dominant, and can't change either of those conditions.
I'm guessing that complicates it a bit.
A gun with too much pitch is going to kick too much, that much I know.

Best,
Ted

I said it was a silly question so I guess I deserved that.

Chipmunk leather would be perfect for a leather covered pad! About the right size, right thickness, and I might even tan it with the skin on for a little extra SWAG.

Seriously, someone suggested book binder leather, and I couldn't get that to stretch without tearing. I ended up getting some leather scraps at the local hobby place, they worked.

Chaz,
Some guys here have used leather from old womens purses they bought at Goodwill. Just make sure you repeat to the clerk over and over again while you buy it "it's for my wife, it's for my wife, it's for my wife..." and try to look very manly.
