Maverick223 0 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Have you thought about adding a compensator for braking instead/also? At least then you will look like a man...LOL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Azrial 1,091 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 My Ace stock has a nice recoil pad on it! I was very impressed with it. The truth is that YOU are the biggest limiting factor in how quickly you can recover and make the next accurate shot. A recoil pad helps most to do that quicker and that is why I have one. Lots of folks argue whether you need one, almost no one takes them off once installed... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingjoey 5 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 A recoil pad gives the gun some room to move which can sometimes be less comfortable. Try pulling the stock into your shoulder more firmly and see if the recoil is bothering you as much. Needless to say, I do a lot of shotgun shooting every year and if I don't have that stock cinched in really good I get sore really quick. I've found that those soft recoil pads tend to let things move around and it ends up making your shoulder more sore but less bruised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
numbnuts 1 Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Thanks gents My 5 yr old daughter has a pink floaty I can always use......... I believe in NY the compensator/flash hider is illegal......... In the future I'll prolly go with the ace stock.... But for now, I'll prolly just cinch that stock into my shoulder a bit tighter, so she don't move around as much Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lusaka 0 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I use the GP recoil pad intended for the AK, as much to make the gun fit me better by increasing the length of pull. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Surly 11 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Man up and embrace the energy being transferred to your body. If it gets to be too much, you can go out and shoot it more to build up a tolerance. Too many sissies using pussy pads to compensate for poor shooting practices these days.

okent 0 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I will wear that wussie label with pride then. I an 8" shorty and I do not feel like more of a man with the bare stock. I had a limbsaver pad put on the gun and I can shoot it all day and never feel it after. I have a theory that those who feel the need to shoot a shotgun without a recoil pad are trying to compensate for something Really though, I shoot this gun in competition and I can shoot hundreds of rounds without any pain or bruising, it makes it more fun to shoot for me and everybody who has tried it. Just depends on what you are going to do with your gun but I don't think the Limbsaver people will be going out of business any time soon. YMMV Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lokmeup 30 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 AK47 Butt Pad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hobbyshooter 59 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I put a grind to fit limbsaver on the back of my Tapco stock. I like it a lot. Super easy to shoot for hours, and it lengthened the stock just enough to still be easy to bring up to the shoulder fast, but long enough to feel comfortable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
numbnuts 1 Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I think I'm gonna try that limbsaver grind to fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hallboss 1 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 There is no shame in using a buttpad on a gun, esp a shotgun. My AR is the only one I own without a pad. It has nothing to do with being a pussy, would you drive your car with a wooden seat? Sometimes it is about comfort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azkamidaka 26 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I have the KVAR folding polymer stock with the compartment for the cleaning kit and the metal buttplate. And on top of that in my area i can only shoot slugs at the range so Winchester super x is pretty much all of my ammo. I had to shoot my gun after I me and my pops finished the folder trunion (that spring is a bit*h!) and folding stock installation since I was so happy it was closer to being finished. I didnt have a recoil pad at the time. I bought the grenade launcher pad and havent looked back since, but am now thinking that the Limbsaver might be worth trying, if I can somehow get it to work.

numbnuts 1 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Nice bruise ya got there my right shoulder has alot less muscle than yours.....Sucks getting old Quote Link to post Share on other sites
klm390 0 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 You could always try silicon muscle implants for a permanent recoil pad for all your guns. Then we can all tell who the shooters are by the jacked up Quasimodo looking shoulder they have. I'll be putting a recoil pad on my gun shortly and without shame Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bugeye 2 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I got one of the slip on recoil pads for Ivan. I use it about half the time. It adds about an inch to you LOP but you can shoot all day long with out ANY discomfort. Its very comfortable. Put it on and take it off in seconds. Blackjack Buffers sells them for about $20.

G O B 3,516 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Mine is unconverted, and like my C&R rifles, I use a slip on pad when shooting in light weight clothes (and allways when shooting in a "wife beater" T shirt). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wally 2 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I have a grenade butt pad also works great Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 what is a recoil pad? they make such a thing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azrial 1,091 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) Yeah, start using sandpaper to wipe your butt and remove the shocks and springs from your car as well! That will prove what a "real man" that you are! Edited December 21, 2008 by Azrial Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azkamidaka 26 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Silicone implants in my body? LOL that'll be the day that hell freezes over and Satan and Jesus go out for a night on the town looking for loose woman and more Samuel Adams to get the taste of hooker spit outta their mouths. Please forgive me Jesus. But seriously, all jokes aside, the grenade launcher pad does a really great job of making even the most powerful shells much much more comfortable to shoot all day long.

aessu 1 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I have a Saiga-12K with the metal buttpad. I don't need a damn recoil pad, just a longer stock. Recoil is not a problem as I'm used to less than 6lbs Over and Under, shooting 3" 2oz birdshot loads. So IMO just man up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Surly 11 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 If you need a maxi pad for recoil reduction, perhaps it's too much for you. Trade it off on a nice .22 or .410 if you must have a shotgun. Go out and take the pain, it ain't gonna kill you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
