KICK-EEZ Dual Action Sporting Clay Recoil Pad - 5 1/4" L x 1 7/8" W x 15/16" T Dual 3/16" Black

The KICK-EEZ Dual Action Sporting Clay Recoil Pad is a two-layer Sorbothane pad built specifically for clay shooters who want to reduce felt recoil and improve shooting comfort. If you've ever dealt with shoulder soreness after a day at the range or noticed flinch creeping into your shot sequence, this pad addresses both problems by actually absorbing and dissipating recoil energy rather than just compressing under it. The dual-layer design works in two stages: the first layer responds quickly to the initial shock, while the second layer handles the remaining energy, giving you genuine cushioning that won't bottom out even under repeated shooting.

Sporting clay shooting—whether you're running skeet, trap, or five-stand—demands a pad that handles fast gun movement and shouldering from unconventional positions. This pad's canted heel (approximately 45°) is designed specifically for the "low gun" ready position that clay shooters favor, making it easier to mount quickly and smoothly. The leather-grain textured face grips your shoulder and resists slipping, and the solid black base won't crack or peel with use. Unlike rigid foam pads, Sorbothane won't harden in cold weather or break down after a season of hard use.

One practical advantage: if you need to fit this pad to a different shotgun or want to customize the shape, you can grind and reshape it like a traditional pad—the material responds to tools without degrading. The 5 1/4" length, 1 7/8" width, and 15/16" thickness give you solid coverage across the shoulder pocket, and the dual 3/16" layer construction means you're getting real material working for you, not a thin compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this recoil pad fit my shotgun?

The pad is 5 1/4" long, 1 7/8" wide, and 15/16" thick. These dimensions are typical for shotgun and rifle stock pads. You can grind and shape the pad to fit your specific gun, but we recommend measuring your existing pad or stock to confirm compatibility before ordering.

What makes the dual-layer design different from a single-layer pad?

The two layers of Sorbothane work together: the first layer absorbs the initial recoil impulse quickly, while the second layer dissipates the remaining energy. This staged approach gives you better overall absorption than a single material thickness and prevents the pad from bottoming out during recoil.

Is this pad suitable for trap shooting or just clay target sports?

This pad is designed specifically for sporting clay shooting, and the canted heel is optimized for the low-gun position used in that discipline. While the material itself will absorb recoil on any shotgun, KICK-EEZ makes other models (such as the 400 Series Trap) with different heel angles for fixed-position trap shooting.

Can I customize the shape if it doesn't fit perfectly?

Yes. The Sorbothane material can be ground and shaped just like traditional recoil pads, allowing you to customize the fit to your stock. Avoid excessive heat buildup during shaping, but otherwise the material responds well to standard tools.
