Product Description
The ShockEater Recoil Pad is the latest advancement in energy absorption and recoil dispersion – it keeps you shooting longer, while increasing accuracy, comfort, and consistency with your long guns. Made with proprietary Nano-Poly™ technology, the ShockEater Recoil Pad is designed to reduce peak felt recoil without increasing length of pull or altering appearance. At only 8 mm thick and 1.4 ounces in weight, it provides superior shock absorption in a form that is lighter and thinner than any foam or gel can provide.
The ShockEater Recoil Pad is conformal to the shoulder area, supporting proper gun fit and improving pitch and toe angles at the butt-stock. This combination of unique fit and absorption properties allow for maximum comfort and reduced felt recoil. More comfort, less pain means hitting your target with greater consistency. The ShockEater Recoil Pad is compatible with many of the leading shooting vests and shirts, making it the optimal accessory for a variety of shooters from first timers to seasoned veterans.
Order with a ShockEater shooting shirt or vest and save!
How it works:
Instructions for use:
Simply insert the ShockEater Recoil Pad into the shoulder pocket on your shooting garment (vest, shirt, jacket, etc.) with the flat side facing away from your body. You are now ready to “Eat the Kick” and shoot more comfortably than ever before. Remove the recoil pad from the garment before dry cleaning or laundering.
Color in-stock: BLACK

I picked up this pad for a dove hunting trip after being recommended from a friend. I was very impressed that something so thin could take out that much of the kick. Really knocked down the recoil well and no sore shoulder after the weekend.
Tom – :
it reduced alot of the recoil
Nancy – :
I love the ShockEater! I had been trap shooting just about every Friday for 2 months and I would get a bruise each week and it was getting to a point that the bruise wasn’t even completely healing from one week to the next. I had seen this product demo’d at the Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, PA earlier this year. I searched for this product on the internet and when I found it I bought it. I have used it the last two weeks and I have no bruise and my scores have gone up since I am no longer anticipating the pain! It works great! LOVE IT!!!
Richard – :
Amazed at the reduction in recoil by this little pad. If recoil on a gun is bothering you, get one!
Lightning Rider – :
Wow- works great for shotgun and big bore shooting.
Nana – :
I am a 74 year old trapshooter., I wish i got this a long time ago, I love it
Randy – :
A great product. I have used vest inserts from both Browning and Beretta and this is superior product. Works as advertised. Great product.
Greg – :
Best I have ever used!
Matt – :
I bought this for an upcoming hunting trip plus clays. It works great! It is so thin and does not alter shouldering the gun! Really reduces the recoil.
Leonard Valente – :
Allows for better gun mount then other products. Felt recoil is greatly reduced but I wouldn’t say any more than other similar products from Browning and Beretta. Well worth the money for the above noted reason.
Ed Bosson, PhD – :
I was doubtful myself of its ability to absorb impacts and, in fact, researched on return policy. Then I went ahead and got one. Went to gun range with my Browning BLR 270. The very first round – hardly felt the recoil to my enormous surprise. After 24 rounds still easy to take the recoil. Improved my groupings as well. Such thin gell has great shock spread so ended up with no sore shoulder. Highly recommended…
Alisha Hines – :
Amazing what this recoil pad can do! I was skeptical when my husband ordered it for me, however once I tried it, I won’t be shooting without it! Reduces recoil drastically and doesn’t “fetch up” when shouldering my gun quickly. Two thumbs up!
Larry – :
I recently purchased my second shockeater pad for my son to use. It worked so well for me I didn’t want him getting the sore shoulder I used to have. I highly recommend this pad for everyone. The shirts with the pockets built in the shoulder also work great.
Michael Samson – :
I finally got to shoot with the Shock eater pad. I noticed a reduction in the recoil that made my over and under a much nicer gun to shoot. I just ordered another one for my self to use in a sport shirt I bought here.
Spike C. – :
I bought this for my Wild Hare vest. Very well made but for me it offers a lot less protection than the Beretta recoil pad which is wider and longer. I will give it another try when warmer weather comes to give it an honest review. I will note that, yes my vest fits correctly and the pad is a little harder than the others I own. Price is a little high but not an issue for a product made in the USA.
Ben Fletcher – :
I was really impressed with how much it took the recoil from the shoulder as i enjoy trap shooting. This is well worth the expense and i would recommend this item to anyone that shoots alot.

Spike C. – :
Follow up test and review. Pad works perfect! In my case it was the layering under the vest that did not permit the pad to fall in the correct position on my shoulder. Now that warmer and way less layers shooting season is here, I tested it again and it is awesome! Do not be afraid to spend the money on this pad because it works perfectly.
John Mattera – :
I shoot an average of twice a week. I would have a perpetual bruise on my shoulder, until I incorporated the “Shock Eater” in the shoulder pocket of my shooting vest. It absorbs all the recoil.
Chic Kroll – :
All it does is work. Great product.
John Falica – :
Just wanted to say the ShockEater Recoil pad is AWESOME !!! I can shoot a 20ga all day, but a 12ga will wear my shoulder down from shooting 100 rounds. With this pad, I was able to shoot 2-100 rounds of sporting clay with no problem using my 12ga. and 100 rounds of 5 stand the next day! Excellent recoil pad and the shirt I bought with the pad worked excellent! The recoil pad stayed in place all day! Going to buy a pad for my son and some shirts also!
Jan M Maly – :
Amazing product! Get one! You won’t regret it. Shot over 3000 rounds in three days, no pain, no bruising and you don’t even know it’s there.
Jeff – :
thin, light and works as advertised
Dennis – :
Thought I would give this pad a try and must say it works. It does take the bite out of cheap Walmart shells. Good product.
L.D. Conner – :
Took a few shots to mold to my shoulder, but then I didn’t notice it at all. Cut down on the recoil much better than the old gel pad I had used before. I would recommend.
Jimmy III – :
i just got back from a dove hunt in Argentina, i shot over 5,000 rounds in a 5 day period and shoulder is still in good shape compared to others in the group using other types of pads, this was a last minute purchase and i am really glad i made it!
it’s amazing how well it did for as thin as it is in comparison to the others!
Tom – :
Picked up this pad/shirt before heading down the Argentina. It worked as advertised. Recommended : )
BW – :
Flexible design allows this pad to fit the contour of the shoulder making it very comfortable and does not alter the pitch of the mounted gun. Substantial reduction in felt recoil. This and a ShockEater shirt quickly became part of my everyday shooting equipment.
Stacey – :
I purchased 2 Shock Eater recoil pads a few months ago. Had one sent to my father in Florida. He LOVED it!! I finally had the opportunity to test drive the one I ordered for myself. I sometimes will shoot multiple, large caliber rifles in one day, leaving the range with a sore shoulder. (300WM, 338 Lapua, etc). I was so happy that there was NO SORE SHOULDER from the last trip to the range!! Jack….. great job on this product!!

Bought this for my Bolivia Dove hunting trip. I tried it before the trip and was amazed! It proved itself during the trip with 4 hunts. I had no sore shoulder at all and other shooters without the shock-eater did. Thank you!!! I will continue to use it.
A. Alonzo – :
I bought mine a few weeks ago and I finally had the opportunity to test it. Loved it! Felt no recoil. I like the way it’s molding to the contour of my shoulder. I definitely recommend it…definitely a part of my shooting accessories.
Ken Boben – :
I bought this pad to add to my vast collection of pads only to find out it is the best by far. I have now bought 3 including one for my wife who is very sensitive to recoil. She shot trap on our vacation and started offering her shirt and Shock Eater to all the other lady guests at the dude ranch claiming you wont feel a thing. Great product I won’t use anything else.
Chuck Frakes – :
Unbelievable product. Used first time yesterday with 45/70 with heavy loads. Usually this can be punishing and this pad did wonders. No bruising or aches and pains after shooting. Fits nicely in shirt. Pad pocket places the recoil pad in the proper place. Much more comfortable shooting!
Tim H. – :
I recently ordered a ShockEater pad and two shirts. It works very well. I have told other shooters that I know about it. I know one person that already ordered and received theirs. We are just waiting for the range to open again to go shooting. I bought mine because I have TRG-42 that I did not like to shoot. The ShockEater changed that. Using the ShockEater has made it easy to go and shoot 20 rounds.
Jacki – :
Works great! Went shooting with a 223, 3006 and 338 – hardly felt a thing. Next day I wasn’t sore at all and ready to play again!! Only thing that would make it better would be a coupon or sale. Thinking it would make great Christmas gifts.
Ray C. – :
I decided to give this product a chance after returning to the range from 3 months of therapy for a hyperextended bicep tendon. The Gracoil system on my shotgun was doing its job but I needed something more to reduce the recoil and pain to my shoulder. The ShockEater has made a difference. Since I started using it, I have shot 500 rounds including a 300 hundred round .registered shoot. I’m not saying all of the pain has gone but it has made a difference by providing that much more recoil absorption and comfort.
Mark Lillie – :
I had a bad ATV accident while spraying weeds in the timber/pasture and broke his collar bone and taken by life flight with a lot more serious injuries. This pad has helped him to go deer hunting again.
Norm – :
Used for trap shoot. I was pleasantly surprised at how much recoil reduction came from such a thin pad. 4 stars due to cost, fit in wild hare coat “designed” for this item, but really worth the try.
GASTX – :
Used it this weekend at a NBRSA VFS match. The ShockEater pad was great.
Also shot 50 rds of 284 Win while fire-forming new brass and the ShockEater pad was a very welcome addition. Stayed in place and noticed a significant reduction in felt recoil.
Will buy more for sure

Philip Glass – :
I’ve just tested this with my .470NE rifle. It really performs as stated. I will be using this on my upcoming safari and likely every time I shoot my double rifle.
Mike A – :
I purchased this pad to help lessen the felt recoil from my 45-70 rifle. The first time I used it at the rifle range, I could not believe the difference it made in reducing the effects of the recoil from shooting my rifle, which has a brass buttplate. My first time at the range without the ShockEater, I could only manage to fire 30 rounds before I had to stop due to the bruising in my shoulder. Once I received the pad, I was able to comfortably put 50 rounds down range with no discomfort. A truly wonderful product.
CaptainCalf – :
Used it shooting clays and after 75 twelve gauge rounds down the barrel my shoulder was fresh and reading to do it all again, while my buddy who shot without protection couldn’t/wouldn’t shoot anymore…I’d recommend it highly and won’t go shooting without it!
John Payne – :
Wow! I bought the Browning product last week for a sporting clay shoot. Eh…. Still plenty of soreness after 100 rounds through an older Binelli Legacy. Shot today with recently delivered Shock Eater T and pad. No comparison. Same gun, same loads, no sore shoulder. Will be recommending to all my friends. Expensive but worth every penny in my opinion.
