KICK-EEZ Trap Recoil Pad 2" x 5-5/8" x 1-1/8" Black
The KICK-EEZ Trap Recoil Pad is a specialized shotgun recoil pad designed for trap shooters who want meaningful relief from shot-to-shot punishment. Built from Sorbothane—a viscoelastic material engineered to absorb and dissipate impact energy—this 2" × 5-5/8" × 1-1/8" pad cuts recoil dramatically rather than just softening it. That means less flinch, better follow-up shots, and shooting comfort even when you're working through a high-volume day at the range or competition.
The defining feature of this Trap model is its pronounced concave face, shaped specifically for the fixed-shoulder position and mechanics of trap shooting. The canted heel angles at approximately 45 degrees, making it easy to mount your gun from the low-gun position—a positioning fundamental in trap. Unlike cheaper foam pads that compress and bottom out, Sorbothane maintains its integrity shot after shot, won't degrade from heat buildup, and can be reshaped or ground to match your stock if needed. The textured leather-grain surface keeps the pad stable on your shoulder, and the solid black sides give it a finished, durable look.
If you're recoil-sensitive, shoot magnum loads, or simply want to extend your shooting sessions without the next-day soreness, this pad addresses the root cause: impact energy. It's a straightforward upgrade that makes a real difference in comfort and consistency, especially in trap's repetitive, high-round-count environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this pad designed for trap shooting specifically?
Yes. The pronounced concave face and 45-degree canted heel are engineered for trap shooting mechanics and the fixed-shoulder position, making it ideal for clay target competition and high-volume trap practice.
Will the pad eventually compress or break down?
No. Sorbothane won't bottom out or degrade from heat buildup, so the pad maintains its recoil-absorption properties shot after shot, season after season.
Can I modify this pad to fit my specific gun?
Yes. The pad can be ground and shaped using standard tools, allowing you to tailor it to your stock's contour without compromising its performance.
How much recoil reduction should I expect?
Sorbothane absorbs and dissipates impact energy significantly—reducing both felt recoil and flinch. Results vary by shooter and load, but most users report meaningful relief, especially during extended shooting sessions.
