Description
The Kick-EEZ Large 1/2" All Purpose Pad is the go-to fix when you want to take the sting out of your shotgun or rifle without adding a bunch of length to the stock. This is the thinnest pad Kick-EEZ makes, so it's a smart pick if your length of pull is already where you want it and you're mainly after recoil relief. The flat face and versatile shape mean it plays nice with everything from bird guns to deer rifles.
What sets these apart is the material. Kick-EEZ pads are made from Sorbothane, a proprietary visco-elastic polymer that's been tested to absorb up to roughly 94% of shock. Instead of just slowing the recoil down, it redirects that energy out the sides of the pad rather than straight back into your shoulder. There are no air pockets or metal plates buried inside, and the material has a near-perfect memory, springing back to shape after thousands of rounds without bottoming out.
Why the Kick-EEZ All Purpose Pad Grinds to a Clean Fit
This is a grind-to-fit pad, meaning it comes oversized on purpose so you can sand it down to match your stock exactly. The screw holes are spaced 3 1/8" center to center, and the solid Sorbothane construction lets you grind right down to within about a half inch of the hole. Keep the sander in the 1700 to 2500 RPM range, start with 80 to 100 grit, and finish with 220 for a smooth, factory-looking edge. Skip the high-speed Dremel, since heat buildup is the one thing this material doesn't love.
Getting the Most Out of Your 1/2" All Purpose Pad
Once it's ground to shape, radius the heel, toe, and sides so the gun mounts smoothly to your shoulder and slides up out of a low-gun position without snagging. Because it screws directly to the buttstock, it stays locked in place round after round instead of slipping like a slip-on boot. Proudly made in the USA, it's a solid upgrade for hunters, clay shooters, and anyone chasing a more comfortable, consistent mount.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Kick-EEZ Large 1/2" All Purpose Pad fit my shotgun or rifle?
This is a grind-to-fit pad, so it's made oversized to fit a wide range of shotgun and rifle stocks. The screw holes are spaced 3 1/8" apart, and the pad measures 2" x 5 5/8" before you grind it. You sand it down to match your specific stock, so the final fit is up to you.
How much recoil does the Sorbothane material actually knock down?
Kick-EEZ pads are built from Sorbothane, which has tested out to absorb up to roughly 94% of shock. It works by redirecting recoil energy out the sides of the pad instead of straight into your shoulder. That makes a noticeable difference on long range sessions and with heavier-kicking loads.
Why choose the 1/2" thickness over a thicker pad?
The 1/2" is the thinnest pad Kick-EEZ offers, so it's ideal when your length of pull is already dialed in and you just want recoil relief without adding much stock length. Thicker options like 3/4" or 15/16" give you more cushion and extend your length of pull. Pick the thickness based on how the gun currently fits you.
What's the best way to grind and install this pad?
Because it's solid Sorbothane with no metal plate or air pockets inside, it grinds easily and you can go right down to within about a half inch of the screw hole. Use a sander at 1700 to 2500 RPM, start with 80 to 100 grit, and finish with 220 grit, rotating the pad as you go to avoid heat buildup. Radius the heel, toe, and sides before screwing it onto the buttstock for a clean, smooth-mounting fit.
