KICK-EEZ Dual Action Sporting Clay Recoil Pad - 5 5/8" L x 2" W x 15/16" T Dual 3/16" Black

The KICK-EEZ Dual Action Sporting Clay Recoil Pad is a two-layer Sorbothane pad engineered to absorb and dissipate recoil energy for clay shooters working the low-gun position. At 5 5/8" long by 2" wide and 15/16" thick, this pad features dual 3/16" layers of soft, springy Sorbothane material—a design that lets the first layer react quickly to initial impact while the second layer handles residual energy. The result is measurably reduced felt recoil without the bottoming-out that plagues harder pads. If you shoot sporting clays and want to eliminate flinch, stay comfortable through long sessions, or simply reduce next-day shoulder soreness, this pad addresses all three.

Designed specifically for the transition from low-gun ready position to shoulder, the Dual Action Sporting Clay pad incorporates a canted heel (approximately 45°) that makes the gun mount smooth and natural. The pad won't slide or shift during the swing, and the leather-grain textured face grips the shoulder without binding. Unlike foam or synthetic alternatives, Sorbothane doesn't compress permanently and won't degrade under UV or temperature swings—characteristics that matter if you're shooting in sun, heat, or across seasons.

Installation is straightforward: Kick-Eez pads can be ground and shaped like conventional rubber pads if you need a custom fit, yet they maintain their recoil-absorbing properties and don't allow heat buildup during heavy use. The solid black construction is durable and blends with most shotgun finishes. Whether you're a recoil-sensitive shooter looking for more comfort, a competitive clay shooter chasing consistency, or someone who simply wants to shoot longer without punishment, this pad is a practical upgrade that actually works.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotgun sports is this recoil pad made for?

The Dual Action Sporting Clay pad is designed specifically for clay target shooting from the low-gun position, with a canted heel that supports a smooth mount and swing. The two-layer Sorbothane system is optimized for the lighter to mid-range recoil profiles typical of sporting clays.

How does the dual-layer Sorbothane absorb recoil?

The first layer reacts quickly to absorb the initial recoil impulse, while the second layer dissipates the remaining energy. This two-stage process maximizes overall energy absorption and reduces felt recoil more effectively than single-layer pads. The material won't bottom out or compress permanently, so it maintains performance shot after shot.

Can I shape or modify this pad to fit my shotgun?

Yes. The Kick-Eez Dual Action Sporting Clay pad can be ground and shaped like conventional recoil pads if needed for a custom fit. It won't allow heat buildup during grinding or shaping, and it retains its recoil-absorbing properties after modification.

Will this pad help reduce flinch and shoulder soreness?

Reduced recoil absorption directly lowers felt kick and can help break the flinch habit that develops from shooting uncomfortable guns. Many shooters report less next-day shoulder soreness and improved comfort during extended shooting sessions, which often translates to better focus and accuracy downrange.
