Kick-Eez Kick-Eez Medium Black Pad, 1-7/8'' X 5-1/4'' X 1-1/8''

The Kick-Eez Medium Black Pad is a visco-elastic recoil cushion designed to absorb shot-to-shot punishment and help shooters stay on target. Built from Sorbothane—a material engineered to absorb impact energy where other pads fail—this medium-sized pad fits rifles and shotguns that benefit from reduced felt recoil without bulk. Whether you're working through clay targets, practicing precision shots at the range, or hunting, less recoil means less flinching, faster follow-ups, and a shoulder that doesn't pay the price by day's end.

Sorbothane is fundamentally different from foam or rubber compounds: it's a true visco-elastic polymer that absorbs shock energy instead of simply pushing back. That means no "bottoming out" after hundreds of shots—the pad maintains its cushioning integrity shot after shot. The result is smoother recoil impulse, reduced cheek and shoulder soreness, and the stability you need to string tight groups and stay accurate when it matters.

This medium size (1-7/8″ × 5-1/4″ × 1-1/8″) suits standard rifle and shotgun stocks. Installation is straightforward: the pad screws onto your existing stock, replacing the factory pad or reinforcing older worn recoil surfaces. If you've ever felt that flinch creeping in after a few shots, or noticed your cheek sliding away from the scope after recoil, this is the fix.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles and shotguns does this pad fit?

The Kick-Eez Medium pad is designed for standard rifle and shotgun stocks where a 5-1/4″ length and medium thickness work. It screws onto your existing stock. If you're unsure whether medium is right for your gun, we recommend confirming your stock dimensions against the pad specs (1-7/8″ × 5-1/4″ × 1-1/8″) or contacting us before ordering.

How is Sorbothane different from rubber or foam recoil pads?

Sorbothane is a visco-elastic material that absorbs shock energy rather than bouncing back like rubber or compressing and not recovering like foam. It stays effective even after thousands of shots without bottoming out or losing its cushioning properties.

Will this pad really reduce flinching?

By absorbing recoil energy more effectively, less recoil is transferred to your shoulder and cheek. That reduced impulse helps prevent flinching and makes follow-up shots quicker and more accurate. Many shooters also report less shoulder and cheek soreness after extended shooting sessions.

Is this pad easy to install?

The pad screws onto your stock, replacing your factory pad. Installation is straightforward if you're comfortable with basic gunsmithing; if not, a gunsmith can install it quickly.
