The Pachmayr T550 Trap Recoil Pad (Pachmayr part no. 00813) is built specifically for competitive trap and clays shooters who fire high volumes of shells in a single session and need serious recoil absorption. Made by Pachmayr in the USA, it steps up to a full 1.1-inch thickness, considerably more cushioning than a standard field pad, and uses a concave face with a double X sidecore design to help the pad flex and absorb energy rather than transmit it straight to the shoulder. The pigeon face texture is a traditional trap-shooting detail that helps the pad grip clothing without snagging on the mount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this pad thicker than a standard field pad? At 1.1 inches, it’s built specifically for high-volume trap and clays shooting, where extra cushioning matters more than a slim profile.
