The Kick-Eez Trap Gtf Blk is a recoil pad engineered for competitive and recreational trap shooters who demand comfort and control. Built from Sorbothane, a soft, springy material that absorbs and dissipates recoil energy rather than simply slowing it down, this pad significantly reduces felt kick and helps eliminate next-day shoulder soreness. The 400 Series design features a pronounced concave face optimized for the fixed-position shooting style common in trap competitions, making it an ideal choice for anyone serious about reducing recoil punishment during extended range sessions or matches.
Unlike pads that bottom out under heavy recoil, the Kick-Eez Trap Gtf Blk maintains consistent performance shot after shot. The Sorbothane material absorbs impact without allowing heat buildup, keeping the pad fresh even during long days at the range. This construction also means the pad can be ground and shaped like traditional recoil pads if you need a custom fit to your shotgun's geometry. The downward-canted ends facilitate easy shouldering from various positions, while the solid sides and leather-grain textured face provide durability and a secure, comfortable grip against your shoulder.
Trap shooters often cycle dozens or hundreds of rounds in a single session, and poor recoil management compounds into real fatigue and flinch. The Kick-Eez Trap Gtf Blk addresses this by distributing recoil energy across the pad's surface and through its responsive Sorbothane material, allowing you to focus on your targets instead of bracing for the next shot. Whether you're working on your fundamentals or pushing for competition scores, this pad takes the punishment out of shotgun shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Kick-Eez Trap Gtf different from a standard rubber recoil pad?
The Kick-Eez Trap Gtf uses Sorbothane, which actively absorbs and dissipates recoil energy rather than simply compressing like standard rubber. This dramatically reduces felt kick and helps prevent next-day shoulder soreness, making it ideal for trap shooters who shoot high volume.
Will this pad fit my trap shotgun?
The Kick-Eez Trap Gtf is designed for shotguns used in trap shooting. The pad can be ground and shaped to fit your specific shotgun's dimensions if needed. We recommend confirming compatibility with your shotgun model before purchase or consulting with a gunsmith for installation and fitting.
Can I reshape or adjust this recoil pad?
Yes. The Sorbothane material can be ground and shaped like traditional recoil pads, allowing you to customize the fit and profile to match your shotgun's buttstock geometry.
Is this pad suitable for magnum loads or heavy recoiling guns?
The Kick-Eez Trap Gtf is a 400 Series pad designed for trap shooting applications. If you're shooting particularly heavy recoiling firearms, the 500 Series Magnum pad is designed specifically for that purpose.
