KICK-EEZ Trap Recoil Pad 1-7/8" x 5-1/4" x 1-1/8" Black
If you shoot trap, you know that recoil compounds over a day at the range—especially when you're running through box after box. The KICK-EEZ Trap Recoil Pad is engineered for the fixed-position shooting that defines trap competition, with a pronounced concave face that centers the shotgun's recoil impulse and absorbs it rather than just slowing it down. Built from Sorbothane, a material that actively dampens shock energy, this pad cuts felt recoil significantly, letting you stay behind the gun longer and shoot with less flinch-induced fatigue.
What sets a trap-specific pad apart is its geometry. The concave face of this model is more pronounced than all-purpose alternatives, which means it's optimized for the consistent gun-to-shoulder contact you get in trap's structured shooting positions. The material itself won't bottom out under repeated heavy hits—a real advantage when you're shooting shells all day—and the solid sides and leather-grain texture give you a secure, non-slip surface. The black finish is durable and blends seamlessly with most shotgun finishes.
Installation is straightforward: you can grind and shape the pad just like a traditional recoil pad to fit your specific shotgun. Unlike some alternatives, Sorbothane doesn't generate heat buildup, so you won't run into material degradation from the friction of repeated shooting. At 1-7/8" × 5-1/4" × 1-1/8", it's sized to fit most shotgun stocks and provides serious comfort and control whether you're practicing in the off-season or competing in league matches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this trap recoil pad work on my shotgun?
The pad measures 1-7/8" × 5-1/4" × 1-1/8" and is designed to fit standard shotgun stocks. It can be ground and shaped to match your specific shotgun, so it's adaptable to most trap guns. Check your shotgun's stock dimensions to confirm compatibility before ordering.
How does a concave recoil pad differ from a flat one?
The pronounced concave face on this trap pad is engineered to center the shotgun's recoil impulse and improve how the gun seats in your shoulder during the fixed-position shooting of trap. A flatter or differently contoured pad works better for other shooting disciplines, but this design is optimized for trap-specific gun mounting and control.
Will the Sorbothane material degrade or bottom out?
No. Sorbothane is engineered not to bottom out, even under repeated heavy recoil. Unlike some softer pads, the material also doesn't generate heat buildup, so you won't see degradation from friction during long range sessions.
How much does this pad reduce recoil?
The Sorbothane material actively absorbs recoil energy rather than simply slowing it down, which means you'll feel a significant reduction in felt recoil and less shooter fatigue over a day of shooting. Results vary based on load and gun, but trap shooters consistently report less next-day soreness and reduced flinch.
