The "correct" pad for your SW would be a Jostam Anti Flinch with 7 angled slots, as your SW is a 12 ga. These pads with 6 slots were used on 16s & 20s. Good luck finding one of these though. Very hard to locate.

A Silvers would be ok, but I would look for a Hawkins "trestle" pad. This is the pad with straight slots, not the heart shaped slots.

Here's some pics of these pads.

Good luck in the search.

I believe I saw some either Hawlins or Jostam red pads listed on the PGCA. Congratulations to all the Fox Shooters at Pintail Point event- very rewarding indeed.
