Description
Recoil is the fastest way to build a flinch, and a flinch is the fastest way to miss. The Limbsaver AirTech Slip-On Recoil Pad tackles both by cutting felt recoil by up to 70 percent, and it does it without any gunsmithing, drilling, or fitting. You slide it over the butt of your stock and you're ready to head to the range or the field. That makes it a favorite for heavy hitters like magnum rifles, lightweight single-shot shotguns, and old iron like a 45-70 that likes to bruise a shoulder.
What Makes the AirTech Pad Soak Up the Punch
This Large size uses Limbsaver's proprietary NAVCOM material, a Noise and Vibration Control compound that absorbs a wide range of frequencies to dissipate energy before it reaches your shoulder. Built into the AirTech design are atmospheric chambers that spread that energy out evenly rather than letting it hammer one spot. There's also anti-muzzle jump technology baked in, which helps the barrel settle faster so you can get back on target for that second shot. Owners regularly describe the difference as turning a sharp jab into more of a firm shove.
Getting the Fit Right on Your Rifle or Shotgun
The Large pad is built for buttstocks measuring roughly 5-1/8 by 1-3/4 inches up to 5-3/8 by 1-7/8 inches, so measure your stock before ordering to land the right size. It adds 1 inch of length of pull, which is handy if you want a touch more reach. The no-slip surface grips your stock and stays put even in wet weather, and it works on most curved and flat stocks alike.
Slip It On and Go
Installation is about as simple as it gets. You can run it directly over your existing factory pad to pick up that extra inch of length of pull, though Limbsaver notes you'll get the best recoil reduction by removing the factory pad first. Since it comes on and off in seconds, it's easy to move between guns. These pads are engineered and hand-made in the USA, which is a nice bonus on a piece of gear you'll lean into every time you pull the trigger.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Large AirTech pad fit my stock?
The Large size is designed for buttstocks measuring from about 5-1/8 by 1-3/4 inches up to 5-3/8 by 1-7/8 inches. Measure the width and height of your buttstock's end before ordering to be sure you land in that range. If your stock is smaller, Limbsaver offers Small, Small/Medium, and Medium options.
Do I have to remove my factory recoil pad first?
No, you can slip the AirTech pad right over your existing factory pad, which adds 1 inch to your length of pull. That said, Limbsaver recommends removing the factory pad first for the best recoil reduction. Both approaches work, so it comes down to whether you want that extra reach.
How much recoil does the AirTech Slip-On actually cut?
Limbsaver rates it at up to 70 percent reduction in felt recoil, thanks to the NAVCOM material and atmospheric chambers that spread energy out evenly. Real-world feedback backs it up, with folks shooting hard-kicking guns like a 45-70 or a lightweight single-shot 12 gauge reporting a big difference. It turns a sharp jab into more of a push.
Can I move this pad between different guns?
Yes, and that's one of the best things about a slip-on design. It comes on and off in seconds with no tools, so you can share it across your rifle, shotgun, and muzzleloader as long as their stocks fall in the Large size range. One tip: pull it off wood stocks during long-term storage to avoid any discoloration.
