I use the gun sock. It does twist a little, but it doesn' t interfere with my gun' s action. It is a Beretta A390, so I just had to trim around the action and trigger guard. I didn' t want to tape it because I' ve had bad experiences with the adhesive on the tape not wanting to come off. The main reason I use anything is to protect my gun' s finish from the bumps and scratches I put on it. I wish I could come across camo stretch tape that doesn' t stick to anything but itself like Coban used in medical clinics or Powerflex athletic tape. Like was said, it really isn' t necessary unless your gun' s finish is shiny. Many turkeys have been killed by non-camoed guns from hunters who were wearing drab colors rather than popular patterns. Camo is more for the hunter than the quarry, but it does help with slight movements and breaking up outlines. And I do like my MO Break-Up.
