The Absorb-All Recoil Pad uses Sorbothane for shock absorption, Sorbothane is a space-age polyurethane which reduces up to 90% of impact shock by diverting shock through 90º, effectively forcing the impact sideways. The Absorb-All recoil pad is totally effective in eliminating this discomfort from recoil and tests have proved that the pad will stop 50% of recoil.
Speaking from experience our son used one of these on his 20g from the age 7 up to 9 and it really transformed his enjoyment of shooting and even with the big 36 gram 3” magnum 20g loads he had no issues with recoil thanks to this Absorb-All.
