KICK-EEZ Modified Trap Recoil Pad

The KICK-EEZ Modified Trap Recoil Pad (model 403-6-L-B) is a purpose-built shotgun recoil management solution designed for trap shooters who fire high-volume shot strings. This black recoil pad measures 5.625 inches long and 0.75 inches thick, engineered to absorb and distribute the cumulative punishment of repeated 12-gauge discharge. The modified trap pad configuration is optimized for the specific ergonomic and performance demands of competitive and recreational trap shooting, where shooter comfort and consistency directly impact accuracy over extended range sessions.

Recoil pads function by dispersing impact energy over a wider surface area and through shock-absorbing material, reducing the felt recoil transmitted to the shooter's shoulder. In trap shooting, where competitors may fire dozens of rounds in succession, this reduction in recoil shock translates to less fatigue, improved trigger control, and more consistent sight picture maintenance between shots. The dimensions specified—5.625 inches long by 3.5 inches wide by 0.75 inches thick—establish the contact surface area and absorption depth necessary for 12-gauge shotgun recoil energy at typical trap distances. The pad's lightweight construction at 0.35 pounds adds minimal weight to the shotgun's overall balance.

This pad is intended for trap shooters—both weekend competitors and serious competitors—who fire sustained shot sequences and value reduced shoulder impact. Trap shooting demands that the shooter maintain a consistent shooting position and follow-through across multiple target presentations. The KICK-EEZ Modified Trap design addresses this by reducing recoil-induced flinching and allowing shooters to focus on target acquisition rather than managing recoil shock. The black finish resists corrosion and blends with most shotgun stocks.
