dubya 198 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 This is 500 rounds of target loads and a mixture of buckshot & slugs the past 3 days. I think I'm going to try a better recoil pad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nephilim7 107 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I just ordered a Kick Eez Rocker pad. The sorbothane is supposed to really soak up shock. GunFun turned me on to them. apparently, sorbothane is what was used to pad the Liberty Bell in transport. The pads must be fitted but it's worth a little grinding.

Shankspony 40 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Is it a type of perversion when you like this result? I don't mind it and even want it. I know that isn't everyone's preference... and honestly, my first reaction to this was to tease you dubya and tell you to quit whining. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Oh no I'm proud of it! No whining here. Besides the part where I was briefly accused of it being a hickey.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dubya 198 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'll be at the range with the pistols tonight but I'll be back on the S12 tomorrow when my MD20 arrives! The only other gun I have that does this is my 5# 338 Federal Kimber Montana after 40 rounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I just ordered a Kick Eez Rocker pad. The sorbothane is supposed to really soak up shock. GunFun turned me on to them. apparently, sorbothane is what was used to pad the Liberty Bell in transport. The pads must be fitted but it's worth a little grinding. Freeze them before grinding and re chill frequently! Belt sander is best, but I have gotten good results with a simple angle grinder and quick cut metal abrasive. Satin finish. You can use a flap wheel to rough it up to more of a suede texture if desired. IMO Kickeez and Limbsaver soak up around the same amount of pain, but one mounts firmly and the other is squishy. Also Kickeez does not age and become stiff and dry like rubber. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yakdung 2,926 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Stop being a pussy and man up. After shooting do what Yakdung recommends, a couple of shots of tequila and a couple of beers will cure the pain. Sorry couldn't resist. Be safe, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 That kick EEZ wouldn't be a bad idea but you think it'd fit a CTR? Might be hideous too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nephilim7 107 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Or just pull your bra strap out of the way... Those strap adjuster clips can be killer under recoil! LOL I think I cause most of my shoulder damage by slamming the gun to my shoulder while wing / clays shooting. That's why I went with the Kick Eez Rocker pad (well-rounded and tapered edges of squishy sorbothane). I am fitting mine (a medium size - not large) to a CTR on my S12. Haven't received it yet, and I won't hurry on it either. I want it to look professional. I got the 1 1/8" thick pad. Figured I can grind the flat base down if it's too thick. Gamaliel has them for around $33 shipped. I wanted that specific pad. Otherwise, there are some cheaper on Ebay. Edited March 20, 2013 by Nephilim7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 They shouldn't be too hard to fit. Just look at the template on the manufacturer's website and choose one with screw holes about where you want them. Because they are solid, any pad bigger than your final footprint should do. PS. did you see the guide I made on fitting these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YOT 3,743 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 A wise man once told me "If you show someone your wound you're only looking for sympathy. Save that for your mother." Pull the gun in tight to your shoulder and it won't do that to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pull the gun in tight to your shoulder and it won't do that to you. +1 Pull the weapon in tight to the shoulder firmly. It will have less of a running start to bruise the tissue. Keeping the buttstock closer to the center of the chest and squaring the shoulders to the target helps as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one thing I was worried about was it looking out of place on the CTR, but if it's not overly thick and ground properly it should look good. If you get yours done anytime soon would you post pics so I (we) can see how it looks? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sweetcostarica 18 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 It was up tight, this isn't my first affair with shotgun. Hi dubya I shoot old surplus rifles and now semi-automatic shotguns. I personally get tired of the busing and soreness that come with not using a good recoil pad. I don't think that makes us "girly men". Historical note: I believe soldiers in many wars don't use them. That's amazing to me. Anyway the Sorbothane recoil pad by KICK-EEZ ($40 USD) and the Limbsaver ($40 USD more or less) both look good maybe with modifications/fitting they work. But as I mentioned in another post I use the plain Jane Shooter's Friend recoil pad ($20 USD), photo below at a shooting range on a rifle. It is terrific in that there's no fitting, it's removable for easy placement on another firearm, it fits almost all rifles & shotguns, it's inexpensive, and most of all it works better than any recoil pad I have used. It truly tames the hardest kickers . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
