Abstract
A recoil reducing device that reduces the recoil felt by users of rifles and shotguns. The recoil reducing device includes of a force-distribution member that increases the area over which the recoil force is distributed, thereby reducing the force per unit area, and a compressible element that cushions the user from the force of recoil. The force-distribution member can include tabs along its edges. Any number of the tabs may be bent outward, relative to the shoulder of the user to better form the recoil reducing device to the user. Also alternatively, the force-distribution member can include a plurality of grooves along a portion of its edge, and can also include interior cuts within.
Claims22
A recoil reducing device comprising:
- a force-distribution member having a force surface area that is substantially greater than the given surface area of a recoil imparting end of a longarm's butt stock, and wherein the force-distribution member is configured to approximately conform to a shooting shoulder of a user;
- and
- a compressible member having a compressible surface area that is substantially greater than the given surface area of the recoil imparting end of a longarm's butt stock.
A recoil reducing device for reducing the recoil felt by a user of a longarm, the longarm including a butt stock, the butt stock including a recoil imparting end having a given surface area, the recoil reducing device comprising:
- a force-distribution member having a surface area that is substantially greater than the given surface area of the recoil imparting end of the butt stock, the force-distribution member configured to approximately conform to a shoulder of the user, and the force-distribution member including an edge that protrudes away from the user;
- a compressible member coupled to and abutted to the force-distribution member, the compressible member having a surface area that is substantially greater than the given surface area of the recoil imparting end of the butt stock;
- and
- an outer member that covers a substantial portion of the force-distribution member and the compressible member.
