I used to shoot .30 caliber rifles a lot, grew up with them. Fired M-14s in the military. OK, that dates me. I realize at the age of 65 I will never again be as strong and physically fit as I once was. The good news is that wisdom increases as physical beauty declines. I recently decided to get back to hunting and refurbished one of my old friends, a 1898 Springfield 30-40 Krag, sporterized by my dad in the 1920s. Remembering the jolt it used to give my youthful shoulder made me think of making a few changes. I was looking for one of those shooting vests that had a built in shoulder pad to absorb recoil, in the process, ran across this; it made sense. I can use it in any of my target shooting or hunting clothes. Tried it while sighting-in my scoped-up Krag, (eye-sight isn't what it used to be either), and bingo! Wish I had a pad like this long ago. It really works great! RK Windsor, NYRead full review

This product is trying to look like the one you can find in hunting stores. But this is just a bad copy. Pad in self is small, overall size is also small like it was made for teen. I am size 46 and barely can wrap a strap around my body. Product size is XL.

I knew about this recoil absorber through a friend. I borrowed it for one hour to shoot K98 Mauser rifles. What a difference. You do not go home with a sore shoulder. So, now I purchased one. Excellent product.

Bought this for shooting higher power rifles, This does the trick, 20 rounds of close to max loads shooting my 30-06 and shoulder is not even close to tender. would start flinching after seventeen or so rounds, shot today and never flinched. Strap is to short, but it is nothing a couple dollars at the store could not handle and for the price paid is not a problem. Fixing to order one for my son.

I found the pad to work well and forces the shooter to use proper rifle placement . My only comment is the straps could be a bit longer , ex linebacker , fits a bit tight
