KICK-EEZ All Purpose Recoil Pad - 5 1/4" L x 1 7/8" W x 15/16" T Black

The KICK-EEZ All Purpose Recoil Pad is a Sorbothane-based recoil pad built to absorb impact across a wide range of shooting disciplines. If you've ever felt the cumulative punishment of a day at the range—especially with center-fire rifles or shotguns—you know how much difference a quality pad makes. This 5 1/4" × 1 7/8" × 15/16" model features a slightly concave face designed to work equally well whether you're shooting upland game, clay targets, or running drills on the rifle range. The black, leather-grain textured surface pairs function with understated durability.

What sets Sorbothane apart is its ability to absorb recoil energy without bottoming out. Unlike thin foam pads that compress into a hard stop, this material's springy composition actually dissipates the force over time, meaning less jarring impact to your shoulder and less next-day soreness. That matters whether you're recoil-sensitive, building confidence with a magnum caliber, or simply want to shoot longer without fatigue. The solid-sided construction keeps the pad stable during mount and draw, and the concave face design helps the pad stay centered on your shoulder across different shooting positions.

If you're retrofitting an existing shotgun or rifle stock, this pad can be ground and shaped like a traditional rubber pad—meaning a gunsmith can fit it to your gun's exact contour. Just avoid direct heat during any fitting work. It's a straightforward upgrade: stick it on, and let the material do what it does best.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this all-purpose model and other Kick-Eez pads?

This 300 Series All Purpose pad has a slightly concave face built to work across multiple shooting applications—hunting, clay sports, and general range use. Other Kick-Eez models are optimized for specific disciplines (trap, sporting clays, or heavy magnum loads), each with different face shapes and angles.

Will this recoil pad work on my shotgun and rifle, or do I need different pads?

The concave design of this all-purpose pad is intended for versatility across shooting applications. However, final fit depends on your specific gun's stock. A gunsmith can grind and shape it to match your gun's contour.

Can I install this myself, or do I need a gunsmith?

The pad can be shaped and ground to fit, so professional installation is recommended to ensure it matches your stock's profile and stays securely attached.

What makes Sorbothane better at absorbing recoil than standard rubber pads?

Sorbothane is a springy material that dissipates recoil energy over time rather than compressing into a hard stop. This gradual absorption reduces the sharp impact to your shoulder and helps minimize recoil-induced flinch and soreness.
