Abstract
A limb pocket is provided with a plurality of plastic inserts located about the interior of the pocket for receiving the butt of a limb. The interior width of the pocket is greater than the width of the butt of the limb and the inserts reduce the interior width of the pocket to less than the width of the limb butt. The inserts are tapered and slightly resilient to assure a close fit between the pocket and the limb. The end wall of the pocket optionally includes inserts for separating the end of the limb from the end wall of the pocket. The walls and floor of the pocket include shallow recesses for locating the inserts.
