There's No Excuse to Hunt with a Creedmoor Anymore--How to Cut Recoil

A rifle with uncontrolled recoil can (1) Make the shooter flinch more, and (2) Prevent you from spotting your impact through the scope. With these 5 changes, you can dramatically reduce the recoil of a rifle.

As a retired Mechanical Engineer, let me say looks like exactly the correct approach in designing your pad. Well done Peyton & Jim!

I ordered a recoil pad this eve for a Tikka T3X Lite Veil Wideland in 6.5cm. I had already put a limbsaver on it for no other reason than just because. At 70 years old and having shot for 62 years at least, recoil has never bothered me and still doesn't. I have shot 300 Win Mag, 270 WSM, 45/70 guide guns, and Marlin .444 and everything in between. However I enjoy Backfire and want to support Jim, hence the reason I ordered a pad for a 6.5cm. I also sent a note for a rifle I would like to add one on which is a Fierce Carbon Rogue in 7 prc which comes with the Limbsaver. Best of luck Jim!

Jim!!! Congratulations on producing a product!! This looks amazing and you’ve thought of so much. I’m impressed. I took my new Mauser in 7 rem mag out today and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little worried about flinching from how much harder it hits. This would be such an improvement. I love it!

What you're describing as the force over time is called impulse. Very similar to momentum, it's the abruptness of that pressure spike that feels like a punch, that you're turning into a push by spreading it out over time with the pad. And with the two different materials in your pad, you're essentially doing what the shocks and struts are doing in your truck suspension. I really like the throne idea - Weatherby got a lot of customer complaints with their first gen butt pad having issues when being stored in a safe.

I appreciate most people on YouTube. It’s a tough business and damn sure hard way to make a living. Google certainly likes to take their share. It’s great to see someone not only creating content but creating a product. I don’t have any of the rifles that you currently manufacture for but I have submitted a request for two very popular ones that I’m sure will be coming soon. ❤

This is what drives innovation!!!!
Congratulations on your creation!!!
Until recently I had never shot a rifle equipped with a suppressor. About a month ago or so a range near me hosted something like a mini-shot show. The called it "Gunstock 2023".
So I had the opportunity to shoot a bolt action.308 with a suppressor on it. IMO, the suppressor didn't so much reduce recoil as it slowed it down so there wasn't such a quick recoil.
Awesome work!!!

Simms limbsaver recoil pads work wonders, figured that out almost 15 years ago. When my daughter was 12 years old and wanted to shoot my 45-70 and they work, she loved shooting it. I since have bought several of the simms pads, particularly the slip on pads, pull the original pad off, slip the new one on. My favorite use is on my 3 1/2 waterfowl shotgun, makes testing new loads enjoyable. I’ll look into your pad but but it’ll take a lot to move me from the limbsaver pads

Wow. The difference of that muzzzle break was visibly noticeable on camera! It was confounding to me since I was 16 (when I went skeet shooting with a 16 ga Ithaca) that no one could come up with a decent recoil pad.
Fascinating on the backstop pad. It seems like putting ammo cans on a vehicle in the military to create 'spaced' armor to absorb the brunt of the initial impact. Thanks, once again, for illustrating so many of the issues, questions, concerns I've always wanted to test out in the real world ... but just not able to do. Your channel is an invaluable asset from the ammo edu vids to firearms. God Bless and keep up the great work. Thank You!

The thought 💭 time and engineering behind this is astounding Jim and Eric. Especially with the custom pad depending upon cartridge and rifle. I also like the Throne idea. That’s extremely handy.
One of the major reasons why I didn’t get a 300 WSM in a Tikka T3X Lite was how sharp the recoil is compared with others. I ended up with a Savage M110 Long Range Hunter which is two pounds heavier and has a muzzle brake. Not bad recoil, but super loud as you might expect.

[chrismcdonald]

Looks cool... BUT... you need to put units on your graph axis. How do we know the comparisons are accurate?

[CJ-byij]

My 100+ year old 12 gauge single-shot 6lb shotgun with a brass buttplate would like a word with you... Lol. In all seriousness, that is pretty neat. Learning how to absorb recoil only goes so far when you're out shooting for hours at a time. Kudos man.

[ErikCortina]

I tried this recoil pad last week and it absolutely works! Buy with confidence.

[markwalker]

Glad to see you have not yet got nerve damage. Or ear damage. Shot lots of .500NE and .416Rigby and after years I feel the damage

[pauldavies]

Love it guys. Well done!
You're going to have trouble keeping up with demand, and you're going to need people.
What would be good is if companies start licensing the product from you and selling it with their guns

[bongdudugenio]

you guys rock! this is the design missing the entire muzzle recoil management for decade. salute to you all!

[dennisgray]

I’m not to recoil sensitive but I’m teaching my grandkids and I think this would be so awesome. I will definitely look into these

[danielmorrow]

Excellent video!Congrats to the entire team. It’s about time the rear of the rifle was, finally and properly, addressed. We’ll be doing business after the first of next year

[benjaminbagley]

If it does what you say it does (I’m not doubting your claims) then I believe you have done a good job on price point. $90 isn’t unreasonable to me. I’ll be looking to get one as you develop into other guns. Specifically Winchester model 70. And Boyd’s AT-one which is a cool wood stock but has a terrible recoil pad. The Winchester is from the 1970s and just has solid plastic, no rubber at all it and will bruise me if I shoot half a box of ammo.

[doughesse]

I have always hated the slap. I was always ok with a big push. That is why so many people like the 375 h&h because it was a push more than a slap. I was wondering if it helps with muzzle jump. Good work looks like a great product

[jacquesmaree]

"Rescue" just as I thought, this table is more than perfect, , BEAUTIFULL. this table is truly a "LIVESAVER" I hope you get 2million views and more and give this extrodanry beautiful table away. GOOD JOB, WELL DONE 🎉🎉🎉
