The Kick-Eez All Purpose Recoil Pad Black is a premium grind-to-fit recoil pad designed to improve shooting comfort on compatible shotguns and rifles. Manufactured using genuine Sorbothane, a specialist shock-absorbing material, it helps dampen felt recoil and vibration while providing a comfortable contact surface against the shoulder.
Its versatile design makes it suitable for a wide range of shooting applications, including sporting clays, game shooting and general rifle use. Supplied oversized for custom fitting, the pad can be shaped to match the profile of a compatible gun stock. Available in four nominal thickness options — 12mm, 18mm, 24mm and 30mm — it allows shooters to select a pad according to their preferred level of padding and stock fit.

SIZE & THICKNESS GUIDE
The Kick-Eez All Purpose Recoil Pad is available in four thickness options. Selecting the appropriate thickness is important because a recoil pad can affect both shoulder comfort and the overall length of pull of your firearm.
| Thickness Option | Approx. Imperial Size | Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| 12mm | 1/2" | Thinnest option for minimal additional pad depth |
| 18mm | 3/4" | Intermediate thickness for balancing padding and stock length |
| 24mm | 15/16" | Thicker option where additional pad depth is preferred |
| 30mm | 1 1/8" | Thickest option in this selection |
HOW DOES THICKNESS AFFECT LENGTH OF PULL?
Length of pull is the distance between the trigger and the rear of the butt pad. Replacing an existing recoil pad with a thicker or thinner model can change this measurement and alter how the firearm fits your shoulder.
The actual change depends on the thickness of the pad being removed, any existing spacers and the dimensions of the replacement.
WHICH THICKNESS SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Measure your existing recoil pad and consider whether you want to maintain or change your current stock length. A thicker pad is not automatically more suitable, as correct gun fit is an important part of shooting comfort.
The millimetre sizes on this listing are nominal. Kick-Eez manufactures corresponding imperial thicknesses, so small measurement differences may occur.
STOCK COMPATIBILITY & DIMENSIONS
The Kick-Eez All Purpose Recoil Pad is designed to be fitted to compatible shotgun and rifle stocks. It is supplied oversized so that the outer profile can be shaped to suit the buttstock.
WILL IT FIT MY SHOTGUN OR RIFLE?
Compatibility depends on the length, width and shape of the stock, as well as the position of any existing mounting holes.
Kick-Eez manufactures All Purpose recoil pads in different overall sizes. The thickness alone does not confirm the pad's length or width.
Before purchasing, compare the required pad dimensions with your existing stock. The replacement must provide sufficient material for a suitable finished fit.
WOODEN & SYNTHETIC STOCKS
The pad may be suitable for compatible wooden or synthetic stocks, although fitting requirements can differ. Some stocks may require additional preparation or alternative mounting arrangements.
Professional fitting is recommended where drilling, stock modification or precise shaping is required.
FITTING & INSTALLATION GUIDE
The Kick-Eez All Purpose Recoil Pad is a grind-to-fit design. It is intended to be mounted to a compatible stock and shaped to achieve the required finished profile.
BEFORE FITTING
- Ensure the firearm is unloaded and safe before any stock work.
- Check the dimensions of the buttstock and replacement pad.
- Confirm the required finished thickness and stock length.
- Inspect the mounting arrangement and existing screw holes.
- Follow the manufacturer's fitting instructions.
GRIND-TO-FIT CONSTRUCTION
Sorbothane has different working characteristics from conventional rubber. Correct abrasive selection, shaping and finishing techniques are important when fitting the pad.
Incorrect grinding can damage the material or produce an unsuitable fit. For this reason, we recommend professional fitting by a competent gunsmith.
IS PROFESSIONAL FITTING REQUIRED?
Experienced users with suitable equipment may be able to carry out fitting work, but professional installation is recommended, particularly where drilling or stock modification is necessary.
SORBOTHANE & RECOIL REDUCTION
Kick-Eez recoil pads use Sorbothane, a specialist viscoelastic polymer designed to absorb and dissipate impact energy.
When used in a compatible recoil pad, this material helps dampen the impact transmitted through the stock and into the shooter's shoulder.
HOW MUCH RECOIL DOES IT REDUCE?
The amount of perceived recoil reduction varies depending on the firearm, ammunition, pad thickness, stock fit and individual shooter.
Although Kick-Eez recoil pads are designed to improve comfort, the amount of reduction experienced cannot be guaranteed for every firearm or shooting application.
DOES A THICKER PAD ABSORB MORE RECOIL?
Pad thickness can influence cushioning, but the thickest option is not necessarily the best choice. Stock fit, length of pull and the characteristics of the firearm should also be considered.
ALL PURPOSE VS OTHER KICK-EEZ RECOIL PADS
Kick-Eez offers several recoil pad designs to suit different shooting disciplines, stock profiles and fitting requirements.
| Range | Main Difference |
|---|---|
| All Purpose | Versatile grind-to-fit pad for compatible shotguns and rifles |
| Sporting Clays | Design intended for sporting clay shooting applications |
| Trap | Alternative design intended for trap shooting |
| Dual Action | Layered Sorbothane construction for different damping characteristics |
| Pre-Fit | Designed for specified stock profiles |
| Slip-Over | Fits over compatible stocks without permanent screw mounting |
The All Purpose model is a practical option for customers seeking a versatile recoil pad that can be custom-fitted to their existing stock.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WILL THIS RECOIL PAD FIT MY SHOTGUN?
It depends on your stock dimensions. The Kick-Eez All Purpose pad is designed for custom fitting, so the length, width and mounting arrangement must be suitable for your firearm.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FOUR THICKNESSES?
The main difference is pad depth. Thicker pads provide additional material and may change the firearm's length of pull. Choose according to your existing stock dimensions and preferred fit.
DOES THE PAD NEED TO BE GROUND TO FIT?
Yes, in most installations. The pad is supplied oversized and intended to be shaped to the stock's profile.
IS THE KICK-EEZ ALL PURPOSE PAD MADE FROM RUBBER?
No. It uses genuine Sorbothane, a specialist viscoelastic material designed for impact and vibration damping.
CAN I FIT THIS PAD TO A RIFLE?
Yes, where compatible. The All Purpose pad is intended for suitable rifle and shotgun stocks. Check dimensions and mounting requirements before purchasing.
DOES A THICKER PAD INCREASE LENGTH OF PULL?
It can. Replacing an existing pad with a thicker one generally increases the length of pull by the difference in thickness, assuming no other stock changes are made.
CAN I FIT THE PAD MYSELF?
Fitting requires suitable tools and experience. Professional gunsmith fitting is recommended for accurate shaping and mounting.
IS THIS A SLIP-ON RECOIL PAD?
No. This is a grind-to-fit recoil pad designed to be fitted to the buttstock. It is not a slip-on sleeve.
