❓ Recoil Pad FAQs
Q: What’s the difference between the Old English and Field models?
The Old English features a traditional look with a wider, softer profile—great for classic guns. The Field model is slightly firmer with a sleeker shape for faster mounting.
Q: Will the slip-on version fit synthetic stocks?
Yes, but ensure the material isn’t too slick. A layer of friction tape can help keep it in place on synthetic or composite stocks.
Q: How much recoil reduction can I expect?
Most users report a 30–50% reduction in felt recoil, depending on firearm and caliber. It’s one of the most effective passive recoil solutions available.
Q: Do these pads work for youth or beginner shooters?
Absolutely. Recoil reduction is especially helpful for new shooters developing comfort and confidence with larger calibers.
