OK, because of an aneurysm in my heart I'm not supposed to be subjected to much recoil. I recently bought a PAST recoil shield that I can wear on my shoulder while shooting or hunting. Caldwell makes it and they claim it reduces recoil by 75%! So that sounded perfect. Until today that is. I took a downloaded .45-70 and my .300 Savage to the range. They both kicked very similar but the problem was the recoil. I think it was only about a 30% recoil reduction. The product does help don't get me wrong but it doesn't work as advertised. And it's not the solution for me. Maybe partly though.

Never heard of them Mike, but just looked them up. They seem to have good reviews, but obviously each person is different.
If I were spending my money, and looking for something to really take recoil out of a gun (with some type of recoil pad) , I would look at the gel filled ones. Still don't think you could get 70% reduction! but may work better for you ?
I see they make slip over ones, so maybe you could swap it between guns ?
Possibly that along with the PAST recoil pad would work, if the combo is not to thick and puts gun to far away from shoulder ??

I just had two kick eeze pads put on my son's 20 and 12 ga.The difference was extremely noticeable,especially with a lightweight 12 ga.He's 95lbs soaking wet and had no problems shooting 3" heavyshot turkey loads out of the 12 ga.The sims limbsaver recoil pads also work well.

I was at the range yesterday shooting my Marlin 45-70. I was shooting a 405gr bullet with the lowest charge of RL-7 that is called for. The Marlin came with a factory Limbsaver recoil pad. The rifle still has a heavy push recoil, but I can shoot 15 to 20 rounds and not have a sore shoulder. But....I dunno what your Doc's have stated your limit should be. I know that Greco has Mercury filled tubes that apparently reduce recoil. Check the link. |

I'm trying Cowboy Action loads in the 45-70 next. If that don't work I have a friend who suddenly doesn't need his .260 this season.  |
