Abstract
Accessories for firearms. They are designed to reduce the recoil felt by the shooter when a firearm is discharged. The accessories meet this goal by modifying the decay pattern of vibrations set up in the stock when the firearm is discharged. Kick may be further reduced by elastic compression and also by pneumatic compression of air in sealed pockets formed in and by accessory components.

The combination of a firearm having a gunstock with a butt and an accessory for reducing the kick felt by a shooter when the firearm is discharged, the accessory comprising:
- an integrated pad, boot, and vibration decay pattern modifier;
- the pad, boot, and vibration decay pattern modifier all being fabricated from an elastomeric material;
- the pad having therein an aperture opening onto a face of the pad;
- the decay pattern modifier being disposed in the aperture in the elastomeric pad;
- there being a space between an end of the vibration decay pattern modifier and a complementary end of the aperture in which the decay pattern modifier is disposed;
- the decay pattern modifier having an element with the capability of so oscillating in the aperture as to reduce the amplitude of vibrations transmitted to the recoil pad and the duration of those vibrations;
- and
- the boot being so stretched over and engaging the gunstock as to secure the accessory to the gunstock with the pad of the accessory at an end of the gunstock butt.
The combination of a firearm having a gunstock with a butt and an accessory for reducing the kick felt by a shooter when the firearm is discharged, the accessory comprising:
- an integrated pad and boot;
- the pad and boot both being fabricated from an elastomeric material;
- the pad having therein a cavity with an opening onto a face of the pad;
- the opening being closed to form a sealed and isolated aperture that can collapse when the firearm is discharged, reducing the kick felt by the shooter upon the discharge of the firearm;
- and
- the boot being so stretched over and engaging the gunstock as to secure the accessory to the gunstock with the pad of the accessory at an end of the butt.
