Put the pad on, Ted . . . and you probably won't shoot it for crap!

I stumbled across a like new Miroku 20ga sxs years ago, brought back from Japan by a Navy vet who'd served there. Don't think I paid $500 for it. PG/DT/splinter. 28" barrels. M/F. Shot a straight with it, first round of skeet I shot. Immediately had the chokes opened because I didn't want birds reduced to the equivalent of the puffs of smoke hits I got on those clay birds. After which I never shot it anywhere near as well again.
