Abstract
The present invention relates to a recoil pad for a firearm. The recoil pad includes a solid viscoelastic core, preferably formed using a polymer gel, and having a cross sectional shape substantially similar to that of the stock to which the recoil pad is mounted. The recoil pad further includes a covering enclosing at least a portion of the core with the covering having substantially the same shape as the core.
Claims18

- a) a solid viscoelastic gel core having a cross sectional shape substantially similar to that of the stock;
- and
- b) the core having a Shore 00 hardness between about 60 and about 90.
A core construction for a recoil pad comprising a solid viscoelastic gel having a Shore 00 hardness value between about 60 and about 90 that deforms and rapidly returns to its original shape in response to a recoil event.
