Very nice video. Thank you very much. I used to kick killer with all my shotguns because, as you said, I do not like the recoil pad snagging on my clothing. I normally shoot very light single barrel break action shotguns, which typically have a heavy recoil, so it is unpleasant to shoot them without some kind of recoil pad. The additional stock length also draws your face backwards down the comb of the stock and relieves pressure on your cheekbone. Thanks again.
Very good examples and clear video. Thanks for showing the different models. That shotgun had some good flames coming from the 1st 2 rounds during extraction. TURKEY said Limbsaver, you say Limbsaver - gotta get me some.
Thanks for the side by side comparison. A note about your style: when shooting light to medium recoiling rifles off of bags, your left hand on the rear bag or under the rear part of the stock as you had it is fine, but when shooting shotguns or heavy recoiling rifles, your left hand needs to be gripping the forend firmly. That is how you minimize the pain to the cheek.
Thank you for the video friend! I am sitting here 14 years old after my first time trap shooting with 100 rounds of 12g and man my shoulder is soar! I am going to get some of these!
Glad you took my suggestion and tried the KickKiller recoil pad. I was disappointed that you didn't like it that much. My main reason for buying one was for looks. They just look nicer on the gun. Just remember, it's for the shoulder not the cheek lol.
Heard I lot of good things about the limb saver. I've never tried a recoil pad before. Seems like I might just have to get the limbsaver. Have to try it on the 45/70 and 338win-mag. Then I'll try it down the line. Thanks Doc. God bless
45/70 and 338 win mag? Sounds like you need one for sure, it really helps at the range and when we are hunting, last thing on our mind is a recoil. LOL! Thanks for watching n God bless.
@@vameathunter2771 well the 45/70 is the 9 shot cowboy with the octagon barrel. I haven't shot the 338 yet got the muzzle brake but I don't have a scope on it yet. God bless you 🙏
I am intrigued by the .450 Bushmaster. I am currently in the middle of reading "Elmer Keith Big Game Hunting." He was hunting with straight wall cartridges like the .35 Whelen, .450 Bushmaster, .375 Nitro Express. The main purpose is that a lot of the big game hunting is in wooded areas at less than 300 yards. And while accuracy is more important than bullet size, a bigger bullet expanding does make more damage, the idea being for the game to drop where it stands. That being said, many is the time he rump shot one and it got away. Or, he did get a bull elk and found a .30-30 lodged in the rump muscle from someone in the past. I have two weapons by Windham Weaponry but also notice in their catalog they have one, called the 450 Thumper, chambered in .450 Bushmaster. And of course, some of the big companies like Mossberg also have it bolt action and at a really low price. And the scope makers are getting into it. Vortex just released the Crossfire II 3-9/ 50 mm Straight Wall Dead Hold (a BDC) reticle designed around the averages of .450 Bushmaster, 350 Legend, and .45-70 Government. The are generally hashed out to 300 yards. Using this kind of scope makes sighting easier and more appropriate for the use, though you can use any scope. Either use a calculator to make a drop chart based on the ballistic info of your ammo, or use an app. Strelok Pro has libraries of scope reticles and factory ammo. Tap the reticle button and not only does it give you a graphic that shows the corrected articles on your subtensions, but if you have entered a distance and wind for a shot solution, it will also show how you should aim the reticle. 95 percent of hunting, from white tail to even moose is in wooded areas or near farm land. Elmer Keith intention was to blow a big hole and drop the animal now. He has shot 600 yards with hold overs, back in the 1920s when he was still kind of young (he passed away in 1984.) Some states and areas will only allow you to centerfire rifle hunt with this big and slow bullets precisely because they will not go far and the velocities are 2200 and slower. (Hornady .450 Bushmaster 250 gr muzzle velocity is about 200 fps.) They drop fast and so the idea is to have a soft tip or ballistic tip that expands and the big ole fat bullet stays inside instead of over-penetrating and ricochet off into something else. Others just want one for a hobby, which is okay.
I use the Pachmayr Decelerator slip-on on my Remington 700 BDLs and Marlin 1895 .45-70. The hard part on the butt is to minimize snagging on clothing when shouldering the rifle. I really appreciate the Decelerator on the .45-70. Marlin put a hard rubber butt plate on it that really hurts if you are firing with a thin shirt.
Sometimes we don't get what we pay for... :) I definitely love the slip on limbsaver recoil pad. I have one that I switch between my 12 gauge , 243 and 30-30. I only use them at the bench due to the hard plastic non pad each one has. Like you said... the only one that is truly uncomfortable is the 12 gauge without a recoil pad. My cheek takes most of the abuse too. Lastly... use what works vs what looks good 🙂
Terrific recoil pad video. My Savage Axis recoil pad is very sticky. Maybe the leather pad you have might work. I'd rather that the pad was slippery. 7-08 recoil is not bad.
Good video. My shoulder is killing me after shooting this weekend. Been looking for something that would take the punishment out of session 12ga shooting.
I installed Limbsaver pads on my 12 and 20 Ga. shotguns. After about a couple of years they both started to turn sticky and gooey on the outside, like the rubber was disintegrating or something. I wrote to the company, but haven't heard anything back.
for some reason slugs dont hurt me the shock wave ammo and buck 00 hurt more then a slug havent try the bear slugs tho and no none of the slugs were low recoil

It was my pleasure best of luck this coming season.
Thanks for taking the time to do this! Much appreciated. Nice rifles!!
Thank you n it was my pleasure. God bless.
Wonderful review and excellent job explaining the pads. Thanks for your posting.
Thank you and it was my pleasure, God bless.
Thank you for the dedication of your cheekbones.

Thanks for sharing, I'm not big on shooting 12g shotgun.

It was my pleasure and I know how your shoulder feels LOL! Recoil pad will make a big difference.
haha that’s the exact same with what happened to me i got the limbsaver
Thanks for reviewing so many, so helpful
My pleasure n God bless.
Very good review, very on point. Thank you for all the info shared!!!
Thank you and it was my pleasure.
This was a great review, thank you very much for your time and effort! Take care
Thank you and it was my pleasure. God bless.
that browning is GORGEOUS with the see thru scope rings
YUP! I looove it. Thanks for watching.
Thanks man, just got beat up by a 12 guage yesterday, limbsaver it is!
My pleasure brother.

I'm glad I took your advice, I think it will be perfect for hunting. Thanks brother n God bless.
These are listed as an "extension" on Amazon, not a recoil reducer. It's not made to reduce recoil lol.
Thanks for an excellent review and also "taking some for the team."
It was my pleasure and God bless.
This is a really great video. I like your personality. Great job! Just subbed.
Thanks bro n God bless.
Appreciate the video, decided to buy two of the limbsavers
It was my pleasure and you'll enjoy and shoot better. God bless.
Great video! Thanks for testing these!
My pleasure n thanks.
Appreciate your demonstration
My pleasure.
Great video, made my decision easy! Thank you.🙏🏼
Glad I could help!
Agreed! Limb saver tames recoil very well on shotguns with slugs. For the money, you just cant beat the Limb savers.
YUP! Thanks for watching n God bless.

Thank you n God bless.
Limbsaver thanks for testing!

Sir I have had great luck with a PAST recoil pad. That is one you wear on your shoulder. Great for duck hunts!
Thanks for the info brother, is it comfortable?

Thanks for the comment brother. In Virginia we don't have any restrictions but I love my 450BM, it's accurate and hits really hard.
Thanks for your pain. That helped me decide.
🤣🤣🤣 My pleasure.
Great Video! Thanks
Thanks n it was my pleasure.
Limbsaver is very nice and feels good when shooting. Adds about an inch also.
Yep! so I usually don't use it when hunting. Thanks for watching n God bless.

Oh, okay that make sense but I still don't like the slippery part of the recoil pad. thanks for sharing brother n God bless.
For the size is it longer the padding
I have the Limb Saver and Pachmayr recoil pads. They make shooting my shotguns a whole lot more enjoyable.
I hear you Tony, me too ;-)
Helpful, thank you
My pleasure.
great review thanks for sharing
It was my pleasure, have fun n be safe.
Shot my mav 88 today.....firt thing i did when i got home was type in recoil pads. The range only allowed 12gauge slugs......man that recoil
Ouch!
Sometimes we don't get what we pay for... :)

Yep! And when you are hunting looks don't really count but you don't really feel the recoil either. LOL!
You have great taste in firearms
Thanks Jon n God bless.
Terrific recoil pad video. My Savage Axis recoil pad is very sticky. Maybe the leather pad you have might work. I'd rather that the pad was slippery. 7-08 recoil is not bad.
Yup! sticky recoil pad is no fun when hunting so I don't use recoil pad when I'm hunting.
Dang good stuff.limb saver for my 12 gauge for me.
Thanks and your 12 gauge will be a lot more tolerable.
I got a limb saver and its nice but it does stick to ya maybe we could get a cover on it. Also love the video
YUP! And thanks bro.
Good video. My shoulder is killing me after shooting this weekend. Been looking for something that would take the punishment out of session 12ga shooting.
LOL! I know how that feels, thanks for watching.
When I had an 8mm mauser I needed one.
Yep! For sure.
Thank you!
My pleasure.
Great testing and reviews. 🎩♠🎯🏁🏵💙💛🌻🇺🇸🍀
Thanks you n God bless.

I have 3 or 4 limbsaver and I had them for years but none of them went sticky or gooey on me. Maybe it's the weather, I live in Virginia.
Thanks for the geat info. By an chance have you tried the falconstrike recoil pads? If so how do they compare the the limbsaver?
Thanks bro and sorry I never tried falconstrike.
good vid i just bought a small lightweight 12ga that kicks like a horse
LOL! Congrats n thank God for Limbsaver.
Good video, is dbl 0 buck shot less kick than slugs
Yes n thanks for watching.
Limbsaver has a new model “AirTech” that’s even better. You can install the precision version and it looks nicer. 👍🏻
Thanks for the info.
for some reason slugs dont hurt me the shock wave ammo and buck 00 hurt more then a slug havent try the bear slugs tho and no none of the slugs were low recoil
Good for you brother, sounds like you have a solid shoulder.
6:52 cleaning oils igniting? I've seen some flashing pops from guns before, but that was a real flame
LOL! YUP!
Is that an a bolt I saw? I’m looking for a recoil pad for my a bolt. More for added length than for recoil.
Browning BAR is semi auto but it should work.
I was looking at a Falcon Strike, but they're 200 dollars! Limbsaver it is!
$200🤑🤑🤑 NO! $30 YEEEES! 😆😆😆
You should try taking the original rubber pad off before slipping the limb saver on.
Never thought of that, thanks.
Try taking a piece of sandpaper to that smooth pad.
Great idea, thanks bro n Happy Easter.
Do you have one on your 358 Winchester? Just shot my new BLR in 358 Win today for the first time and it has a bit of a kick!
😂😂 Yes I do a Limbsaver. Have fun you are going to love it when you have it on a deer. Congrats n God bless.

In way if Sling Mount 😭

If you put some type of optic on that shotgun you could then put on a comb pad. Your cheek would then thank you as well as wifey. 😃🤑
I agree brother but I use this shotgun for bird hunting as well :-( Thanks for watching n God bless.
No mask!
Back in those days it was mandatory at the range 🙄
