Pachmayr Trap XLT Ultra Soft Magnum Recoil Pad - Medium Black

The Pachmayr Trap XLT Ultra Soft Magnum Recoil Pad in Medium Black (SKU PA01640) is a next-generation shotgun recoil management accessory engineered to reduce felt recoil impulse during trap and clay shooting. Developed after years of research and testing by Pachmayr engineers, this ultra-soft pad delivers approximately 50% more cushioning than the earlier Pachmayr Decelerator pad, making it the softest option available for magnum-chambered shotguns.

The XLT formula combines extreme softness with the same smooth grinding and installation characteristics shooters and gunsmiths have relied on in Pachmayr's Decelerator line. The medium size fits standard shotgun stocks, while the black base provides a clean, professional appearance on sport and hunting shotguns alike. At 0.45 lbs and measuring 3.55 x 1.95 x 9.45 inches, the pad integrates seamlessly into existing stock geometry without altering overall gun handling or balance. The material's superior damping properties absorb magnum recoil energy more effectively than conventional rubber pads, reducing shooter fatigue and improving shooting consistency during extended clay target sessions or field use.

Trap shooters and waterfowl hunters operating 12-gauge magnum loads benefit most from this pad's design. Competitive clay shooters targeting high-round-count days will notice reduced shoulder punishment, allowing for better focus on sight picture and trigger control. Field hunters using 3-inch or 3.5-inch magnum ammunition experience noticeably softer recoil impulse, making longer hunting days more comfortable. The pad is also popular with gunsmiths upgrading customer shotguns, as its proven installation characteristics reduce setup time compared to aftermarket alternatives.
