Caldwell Magnum Plus Recoil Shield - Tan Cloth with Leather Pad, Ambidextrous (Model 310010)

The Caldwell Magnum Plus Recoil Shield is a shoulder pad designed to absorb recoil energy and protect your shoulder during shooting sessions with magnum rifles and shotguns. If you shoot powerful cartridges like 300 Winchester Magnum or other big-bore loads, or if you simply want to reduce felt recoil and shooting fatigue, this ambidextrous shield fits either shoulder and works with most rifle and shotgun stocks.

What sets the Magnum Plus apart is its larger footprint compared to standard recoil pads. The heart-shaped design extends protection up into the upper arm and shoulder area, which matters most when your rifle isn't shouldered perfectly or when you're shooting from awkward positions in the field. That expanded coverage means better comfort and more consistent recoil management across a wider surface area.

The shield features a half-inch-thick energy-absorbing pad with a tan cloth exterior and leather pad, built to handle serious magnum recoil without bottoming out. Whether you're a long-range hunter working up loads, a clay target shooter putting rounds downrange all day, or simply tired of shoulder soreness after a range session, this is a proven solution that has earned a following among serious shooters worldwide.
