  • 35% Less Muzzle Lift
  • 25% Less Peak Force
  • 35% Less Rock Back

    Put this on a new Retay Masai Mara, a known shoulder punching machine. Put one of these on and found it to be very effective. Stayed on targets a heck of a lot better.

    Martin’s Gunsmithing

    As a professional gunsmith, I wanted to find a good solution for recoil management and in some cases, a way to add a little LOP for my customers. I added a Falcon Strike to my personal over/under and now not only does it fit me nearly perfectly, I can now shoot it hundreds of times over the course of a day without any pain or soreness in my shoulder. This is now my go to upgrade for all customers shotguns.

    The original recoil pad on my Browning (BLR) 308 was worn out and I could definitely feel the recoil. After replacing the old recoil pad with the Falconstrike, I shot 40 rounds at a range. I felt fine the next day and haven’t looked back. Great addition to my BLR.

    5 out of 5 K80 Falcon Strike

    Nathan

    Just wanted to take a moment to let you know how impressed I am with your product. With a bad shoulder I had changed to a semi-auto to help with recoil. After installing the Falcon Strike pad, I was able to comfortably shoot almost two flats of shells in a weekend with no shoulder issues at all. This is something that I had not been able to do for a while with my K80. The installation was 10 minutes at best and the gun now shoots very smoothly with almost no muzzle flip and the recoil is very similar to that of my A400. This is absolutely a great product and has allowed me to shoot much more comfortably again.

    I had seen the video’s that folks had posted but just didn’t think it would relieve the shock that it said, but I was WRONG. It does exactly what it claims it will do & more. It took the punishing away of shooting my Hevi shot Dead Coyote T’s away, so that shooting it now is a breeze. Thanks so much for your know how & building the BEST recoil system on the market. I am about to place my 2nd order now.

    5 out of 5 Quality product + Top Notch Customer Service = Outstanding Company 10/10

    J. Snyder (verified owner)

    I purchased this product for my daughter who shoots trap for her High School Team and she has been very happy with the performance of the pad.

    Due to my own error, I had initially ordered the wrong size pad. I called customer service and to my surprise, I was speaking to the owner of the company! He walked me through the template printing, and stayed on the phone while I confirmed the correct size. The sales team shipped a new pad out the same day, and emailed me a return label for the one I mistakenly ordered. The installation was a breeze once I had the correct size.

    I would like to add, that as a military veteran, it was nice to find out that the company was willing to offer a discount on the product.

    My daughter has hit her personal best (44 out of 50) in her summer league twice since I got the custom fit pad for her Remington 1100 12 gauge. She nearly got her first 25 straight the second time she shot with it installed. She’s looking forward to 100 bird shoots!

    A great tool to get younger and/or less experienced shooters into hunting, trap shooting, or target shooting, this pad exceeded my expectations. My only negative is that I will have to spend more money on ammunition because she wants to shoot more and more!

    I went from shooting 2 to 3 rounds of trap (25 shots per round) to 5+ rounds in one day. Before Falcon Strike my shoulder area was sore and bruised for several days. After I use the pad, no soreness or bruising and I can shoot as much as I can afford all day and everyday. Super product.

      The grind to fit plate worked out OK. When I placed the pad on the plate it was smaller, I realize you can’t make all the various sizes to fit all stock measurements. Was able to shoot 150 rounds of Sporting Clays with it yesterday and it worked as claimed.

    Not only have I purchased two for my self, I have also purchased two for my wife’s trap guns.
    I have plans to purchase a few more.

I shoot 250 rounds of 16yd. trap a week and have no shoulder pain at all.

    5 out of 5 Felt recoil vs Actual recoil

    Chris Hagen (verified owner)

    Semi autoloading shotguns deliver much softer felt recoil than fixed breech shotguns. That’s because they space out the recoil over a longer period, giving a shove as opposed to a punch. But, in effect, the recoil force is still the same.
    I have a badly degenerated C5 vertebra in my neck, and shooting an autoloader, regardless of how soft it feels, produces the same after effect as an over-under. But not with the FalconStrike pad!!! The pad reduces the actual recoil to a point where there is absolutely no after effect. My 12 gauge feels like a 410! I can’t say enough good things about it. Get one!

    I’d like to start by saying that I have used a falconstrike recoil pad on a 300 Remington magnum for over two years, and it makes shooting my rifle a dream! But the main reason I’m writing this review isn’t so much that Falconstrike Recoil Reducer, an amazing recoil pad, but even more so they provide outstanding/amazing customer service! I purchased a second one a little over a week ago to go on a 375 Remington ultra mag and when I received it due to some clouded thoughts, I failed to put it together appropriately and do to my efforts accidentally leaked out all the hydraulic fluid, and when I called Falconstrike I spoke with Martin and he went above and beyond and told me on the phone not to worry about this, that he would get me taken care of which resulted in him shipping me out a new one at no cost! Truly, can’t say enough great things about Falconstrike!!! Thank you again for providing such great customer service and products! Thanks again especially to Martin

    I have a browing a500 and the recoil on it was very punishing and made me want to get rid of the gun, i have a bad shoulder as well so that doesn’t help ither. I was giving it one more chance. I looked at other companies and they were not soft enough. I was skeptical when i got this. I fired the browing today and the recoil with y’alls recoil pad made this thing a dream to shoot. It is a sweetheart to shoot now my shoulder does not get beaten up. And made me love that gun again i am a true believer in this recoil pad. My follow up shot were faster as well i will by this again if i have another harsh shooting firearm. Thank you falcon strike for this amazing recoil pad

    I installed it on my sporting clays gun. The pad was incredibly easy to install and I love that I can easily take it off with the cams and not have to unscrew anything if I need to get to my stock bolt for repairs during a competition. While you’re shooting you don’t notice the gun moving, like you’re shooting with a solid recoil pad but at the end of the day I noticed that my shoulder pain was absent. This is an absolute game changer for those competitions where you shoot 300 to 500 rounds in a couple days.

    I have a Franchi Instinct L 20 gauge. Ordered the 1203 model. From the temple it look like it would fit perfect. The only thing that worried me was the screw holes were a bit off on the template. just installed it on my shotgun and it fits perfect. The screw holes were not a issue as they are much longer on the actual aluminum plate. It looks like it was made for this shot gun. I can not wait to try this recoil pad out and will update my review after. If you have and Instinct L order the 1203 model.

    I heard Steve Gould rave about this product on his youtube reviews, but didn’t try it out until I bought a home-defense shotgun. The installation was very easy and I could not believe the different in the felt recoil. Shooting my Beretta 1301 tactical shotgun with 00 buck and 1oz slugs was actually softer than my Beretta A400 Excel with its Kick-Off System shooting low-brass target loads. I am sold! Great Product!

    I ordered a recoil pad for my fathers Browning Citori CXS and had it shipped directly to him. When the plate was smaller than expected, I called FalconStrike and he immediately sent me a larger system before I even returned the old system. Wonderful customer support! Great Company.

    I will be getting a FalconStrike recoil pad on all of my shotguns!

    The Falcon Strike recoil pad is an awesome product. We purchased one for my father who was 75 years old at the time and the recoil pad was an instant success with him when using his 12 gauge shotgun. I tried it also and found the energy absorption to be remarkable. Recoil is reduced so much that “recoil anxiety” is eliminated. Ideal for the elderly and shooters of any age. Brilliant engineering.

    5 out of 5 Saved me $$$

    Brad Otremba

    I bought a brand new Beretta Pintail, back in 1999. Excellent gun, lite weight synthetic stock, but hardly anything for a recoil pad. Because of that, I have less than a case of shells shot through it, because of the severe kick. Seemed every time I shot it, it was a 2 shot. One to get use to the kick, and the last one to hit the target. Last fall, I was looking at selling the gun and spending a lot of money for a replacement, until I watched Steve Gould’s review of the Falcon strike recoil pad on Target Focused Life. I bought the recoil pad for a synthetic stock. After receiving it, I had to call Falcon Strike to obtain a mounting plate, because the mounting holes would not line up with my gun stock. Mounting the plate and pad to the stock was very easy. In December, I spent a week in SD pheasant hunting and shot a box of shells through the gun. Never once did I ever feel the recoil beat me up, like in the old days. The Falcon Strike recoil pad has placed this gun in to the daily rotation, instead of being left in the truck and never seeing light. This pad saved me close to a $1000.00 or more in having to buy a new gun. I would definitely buy this product again and would highly recommend to anyone.

    5 out of 5 Felt recoil actually reduced

    Allen Llewellyn (verified owner)

    I normally shoot 1 oz. loads in a 8 pound 4 oz. gun. I just shot 125, 1 1/8 oz. at 1225fps and honestly didn’t feel any worse than when I shoot the 1 oz. loads. Needless to say the 1 oz. loads feel better also. Not exactly sure how the pad works but it definitely takes the sharp jolt out of the experience. Much more effective than any soft “rubber” pad that I have tried.

    I now own two for my shotguns and love them. At 77 years old my 12 gauges had become rough on my shoulder. Ater the fifteen minutes it takes to install. the mule kick is gone and it is a pleasure to shoot 100-125 shot shells without any discomfort of any kink.

    5 out of 5 Falconstrike recoil pad

    pavel straznicky (verified owner)

    Pad is great. It reduces the recoil very significantly. It s easy to install, and the fit and finish is excellent. I plan to buy another one for my backup shotgun. The service of the company is excellent!!! Suggestion: (not sure of the feasibility): make the pad in different thicknesses, such as 1 inch and 3/4 inch, that would not increase the length of pull, I d get one for my daughter as well.

    I purchased two of the Falconstrike pads from Martin. I could not be more satisfied.

    I have one on a Fabarm XLR5 and one on a Remington 870. I cannot begin to explain how low the recoil is on the XLR 5. Not as much on the 870 but definitely more than any pad I’ve used by far.

    Martin is such a pleasure to deal with. Great product and people

    Bought a custom fit recoil pad for my son’s SX4. He’s 10 and the kick was still a bit much for him. After installing the FalconStrike he can shoot it all morning without issue. He said the difference is so much that I ordered one for my SBE3 and my dad’s Silver. These things do exactly what is promised and then some.

    I fitted the 5104 pad to a Franchi Instinct XLS 28”.
    The fit was perfect.
    I shot a round of sporting clays and it has reduced the recoil dramatically on my gun which is a very light gun.
    I will be fitting some other guns with the Falcon Strike.

    5 out of 5 Just what I needed to stop the pain and flinch

    Forrest Mohrman (verified owner)

    I recently bought this recoil system to use on a restocking job for myself on a 45/70 rifle. I wanted to see if it would reduce the pain in my collar bone and shoulder. I was pleasantly surprised that yes…..it pushed really hard….but there was no pain. I was never blessed with a lot of meat in the shoulder pocket area so it is mostly bone. This thing makes shooting a pleasure now. I will be using this on many more of my guns and will be recommending to many of the youth trap shooters that I teach to use it as well.

    This is a great product!

    I have used Limb Saver and Kick Ease and this beats them both.

  56. Very good quality, great customer service!

    Ernesto Zamora Jr (verified owner)

    I recently picked up a ’78 Remington 700 BDL LA .270 and need to make some changes to make it my own. One of those was to get a good-quality recoil pad; I had Limbsaver. While it worked I wanted something more solid-mounted and a better cushion. After looking at several reviews I decided on FalconStrike.

    My stock was just slightly larger than the plates they offered so I sent some photos and gave them a call. They were very helpful and sent me two plates, I was able to make one of them work just great. I did have to cut down the stock about 1/4-in which works out because I needed to shorten my length of pull anyway.

    Overall very happy with the experience.

    Bought an older Winchester 101 and some have been known to have a small mule packed away in them. Talked to Martin (can’t say enough good stuff about the help he has provided, especially being he will talk to you and he’s the owner of the company). I shot my 101 a few times before my pad came in and the gun wasn’t awful on the shoulder but after a box or so it would leave a mark. Installed the pad and went out and shot 150 rounds and was amazed at the difference.

    The most I’ve shot was around 175 rounds and not even a mark on my arm and no soreness. I shot doves with my wife’s Rem 1187 20ga the other day and had more of a mark on my arm. Highly recommended.

    4 out of 5 Great pad if the 8 ounce weight and extra LOP (1 3/16" total) works for you

    AtlEngineer (verified owner)

    I took one star off for the extra weight and LOP issues. I shoot both 12 Ga Beretta Upland with Kickoff, and a Fabarm L4S Sporting Grey Semi Auto guns, both 7 lb, light shooters to start with. The Kickoff recoil reduction in the Beretta is phenomenal, L4S doesn’t have it. Subjectively, this pad compares equally with 1) Beretta with Kickoff and 2) L4S with Limbsaver Slip on Pad. I bought custom model 5103, model specified for Beretta “Field” guns (smaller stock than sporting guns). It fit my Fabarm almost perfectly. It weighs 8 ounces. My Fabarm 7/8 inch 22mm pad weighs 2.2 ounces and 1.1 inch 27mm pad weighs 2.4 ounces. So it adds 5.6 to 5.8 ounces to the butt compared to a standard, lightweight pad. If you want to balance it with forearm weights, the total will be +12 ounces. I suspect the benefit for the pump, OU, SxS or Trap single shooter would far outweigh the weight and LOP issue. The longer LOP was perfect for my build.

    5 out of 5 Finally shooting without pain....

    gls (verified owner)

    I bought my first Falcon Strike about two months ago to for my trap gun. I decided to give it a good trial, shooting every week since. On Tuesday evening I shot 75 rounds without pain. Wednesday was practice day and I decided to shoot my back-up gun of similar weight and dimensions with a Limbsaver AirTech recoil pad which was the best I had found up to buying the Falcon Strike. After firing half dozen shots my shoulder was in pain from a rotator cuff injury I have been dealing with. Needless to say, I switched back to my Falcon Strike equipped trap gun without further pain. I just ordered another Falcon Strike for my back-up trap gun.
    I was skeptical at first but the Falcon Strike worked as advertised for me without all the movement of a recoil device and has made shooting fun again

    The Falcon Strike made such a difference in recoil reduction that I now enjoy shooting my 40 year old Nikko 5000 12ga. It has fixed chokes and really used to kick. After a couple rounds of clays you felt it in your shoulder and your cheek. I had been considering buying a new 12ga O/U for Upland Bird Hunting. Now I don’t have to spend that money. I’ll use my Nikko.

  65. Jeff Ward

    5 out of 5 It lives up to the hype with a couple of small exceptions

    Jeff Ward (verified owner)

    I purchased a custom fitted pad for my Beretta AL-391, hoping to reduce felt recoil while shooting Sporting Clays.
    First, the exceptions:
    1) The change in the length of pull caused my sight picture to change. It turns out that wasn’t too bad as have been seeing too much rib, causing me to shoot a little high. If this turns out to be problematic, I’ll change the shim to decrease the drop at comb.
    2) The increase in the length of pull makes it so the stock won’t fit in the Beretta hard case without first removing the Falcon Strike recoil pad. Since I normally store and transport the shotgun in a soft case this isn’t a big issue.
    The benefit:
    1) Installation was easy.
    2) Felt recoil is significantly reduced relative to the same shotgun with a 25 mm thick Beretta MicroCore recoil pad. I shot a mixture of 1 1/8 oz 1250 fps and 1 oz 1200 fps cartridges. A total of between 150-200 cartridges. At no time did I feel the tiredness that usually affects me after shooting 100+ times. Decreased fatigue lead to better shooting. I was able to focus better on the targets.
    2) After installing the Falcon Strike recoil pad and testing it, see above, I then added a little over 2 lbs to what had been a 7 1/4 lbs shotgun, a combination of a fore end balance weight and adding brass bar stock into existing holes in the buttstock and repeated my test. I perceived a slight further reduction in felt recoil while shooting the 1 1/8 oz 1250 fps loads. The improvement in felt recoil while shooting 1 oz 1200 fps loads was not noticeable. The changes in gun dynamics caused by the large change in weight and moment of inertia were very noticeable in a negative way. So much so that I plan to remove either all or at least 1/2 of the additional weight.
    Bottom line: The Falcon Strike recoil pad made resulted in a significant decrease in felt recoil for me.

    5 out of 5 The One and Only!

    Joe Hernandez (verified owner)

    Folks, I don’t often review and/or believe too many of the reviews that I read simply because most reviews are written by those that were given the product for free. In my case I purchase my own products and really use it. I purchase my first FalconStrike recoil pad two years ago for my Ruger No.1 .375 H&H to replace the factory signature Red recoil pad, and let me tell you it was a game changer. Since then I purchased a Sako M85 chambered in .370 Sako which kicked like a full grown mule to say the very least. I took the recoil pad off of my Ruger and installed it on my Sako to see if I would even want to keep the rifle since it was not comfortable to shoot AT ALL. I took it to the range and shot two boxes of the Federal 286 grain Nosler partition moving at approximately 2550 ft./s and I could have shot another two boxes if they weren’t that expensive.

    This year I purchased Howa chambered in .375 Ruger and the felt recoil on the same gun now is less than my .308 caliber rifle.

    I can’t say enough about this product. The price of the product is nothing compared to purchasing a recoil pad and paying a gunsmith to fit it to your gun. You can literally install the pad yourself in a matter of minutes and it looks great and can tame any Big bore caliber felt recoil.

    Jim Eberhardy (verified owner)

    This is an update from my first review for my 11 year old daughter. This past Fathers Day Weekend was the ATA/AIM zone shoot for Northwest Wisconsin. Katherine shot 16 yd and Handicap 19 yd targets Friday-Sunday. Sunday night is AIM practice. Total was 700 shots in 3 days. Her flinch is 85% gone but sometimes still there when a target surprises her. She doesn’t feel any recoil pain anymore and I believe it’s all due to the Falcon Strike. Her 16 yd avg is approaching 75-80 and the first time she shot trap was in Late March. If you have a youngster just starting out with a firearm that has a fair amount of recoil this is the best solution in my humble opinion.

    This pad allows this old disabled veteran to shoot again

    Have not been able to shoot because I had my shooting shoulder replaced January 26,2021 and recoil pain was too severe for me.

    I tried your pad that a friend had on his rifle and no pain from recoil as it was way down and that was shooting a .308
    So I ordered two of these pads and as a retired engineer.
    My cartilage is failing had many surgeries on my spine , shoulders and knee.
    This pad will give me my hobby back.

    Shooting is the only hobby I can physically perform.
    This will really improve my life.

    Ron Fastrup (verified owner)

    Overall I like this products function and design. It fit perfectly and was easy to install. My only concern, and I was concerned when I ordered mine was the added L.O.P. I am very reluctant to cut the stock of my 725 with adjustable comb and not be able to reshape this pad. I have tried shooting targets with it this winter with my winter shooting coat and had to switch back to the factory pad to be competitive. I will try it again this summer with just my vest. I hope it will be usable. Martin was easy to work with and was very helpful with shortening the comb adjusting screw. I feel this is a reputable company and they want to please their customers. Also the extra weight of the mounting system changed the balance and feel of the shotgun that I could maybe get used to but if there was a thinner pad I would rate it higher.

      It seems a shame to forfeit the potential gain of reduced recoil because you did not want to cut your stock. Visit a reputable dealer and learn how little you would need to cut to achieve the same length of pull with a thicker pad.

    Recently purchased Tikka superlight in 300 Win. Mag for future hunt. Looking for more ways to reduce recoil I instamtly thought of a recoil pad to coincide with the muzzle brake. After extensive searches and reviews I came across Falcon Stike and was impressed at its claims. I reached out via messenger on thwir website and was instantly speaking with someone. I was asked a few questions and the feedback was great. So I ordered the product and placed on my 300. Literally, just shot 10 rounds without hesitation. Recoil was reduced to what felt like less than 243. Product is AMAZING. Two others that were with me could believe it either. GUARANTEE they’ll be buying for their 300’s as well.

    Over the years I have installed and used many of the competitors recoil systems. And after seeing the Falcon Strike show up on a couple of You Tube videos, and then checking out the website, I still had a couple of questions. So a quick email was sent, and I received a reply within 24 hrs., Wow. With good customer service and a good price like that, I have to try it ! Fast shipping and delivery, coupled with the fastest installation of any recoil system available, the only thing left to do was shoot and test it. 100 bird Sporting Clays was a good test and to compare it to my normal, identical gun fitted with the competitors system. The results are, the Falcon Strike System is everything as described, and functions amazing. I will definitely use more Falcon Strike in the future. Thanks, Bill

    Great recoil reducer. The hardest problem I had was finding screws. I have an adjustable butt plate, which takes 8-32 screws. 3/16 will probably work, but I couldn’t find them. Instead, I used 1/4″ and a small rubber washer on the top screw. I could have also used two thin washers, but I didn’t want the slight LOP. Besides, I felt the rubber washer will absorb vibrations, even though I used Loctite blue. Another bonus, the reducer gave me another 1/2″ drop, which I love.

    I recently purchased a Super Black Eagle III. I tested it out at the range and it was great the only draw back was after 100 shots I felt that my shoulder was inflamed (Composite Stock, Super Light Weight). I had a shoulder injury approx 3 months ago, so i’m really trying to be careful and not damage it any more than it already is. I heard a lot of good reviews about FalconStrike and wanted to test out the pad. I gave them a call and immediately I was on the phone with someone who was very knowledgeable about the product. I got all my questions answered and placed an order for my SBE3.

    I received the product within 4 business days. I installed the pad within 5 mins and went out target shooting again and I was able to shoot over 500 shots and didn’t feel a thing. My should was NOT inflamed and no bruising at all. All I can say is that it is literally revolutionary.

    I can not stress how impressed I am with this product. I went ahead and placed 3 more orders for my other guns. I am at a loss for words.

    Not only does this company support LE and has a amazing warranty, they are there to respond to questions. I bought the Falcon Strike for my skeet gun. A Browning Citori CXS 12ga. Today was my first day out with it as it came a day early! I noticed an immediate difference in recoil absorbency, a noticeable difference in muzzle rise. The gun stayed where I pointed it for the double shots. The pad just took all back push away. It was like shooting a gun loaded with jello. The reviews are justified! Get one, even if it goes on a hard hitting rifle I’ll bet it makes a tremendous difference. I only own one over under shotgun at the moment, but when I get another one, guess what’s going on it? A Falcon Strike.

    My daughter has been doing trap shooting for 5 years and started to get headaches and face beating up. This pad has stopped all of this. Now after 3 to 4 hundred rounds no problems. Her scores are back up again.

    5 out of 5 FalconStrike Hydraulic Recoil Pad

    Henry Clayton Jr (verified owner)

    I installed FS on a Mossberg International Silver Reserve O/U Shotgun. Noticed reduced recoil vs the original provided recoil pad. The recoil reduction is better than the name brand recoil pads I have on my other shotguns. I will be converting my other shotguns and rifles over to the FS. The FS was very easy to install.

    5 out of 5 Tikka T3 300 WSM with Radial Brake

    Robert (verified owner)

    Before Installing the Falcon Strike recoil pad I had taken my rifle to the range to sight it in after installing a new scope. One of the immediate things I had noticed is the recoil of shooting the 200 grain ELD-X bullets I was feeling a considerable amount of recoil despite having a radial brake and mainly found not the recoil but hard to actually spot my shots whenever I was shooting the 600 + yards and having the zoom set at 25X. After installing the Falcon Strike I cannot believe just how much recoil was reduced, you feel as if you are shooting a completely different gun. Now being able to spot my hits at max zoom from 100 – 600 yards is really easy and even my buddy remarked how his 6.5 Creedmoor has more of a kick than my rifle. If you are into shooting extended distances and want to be able to see your hits this is the device to install onto your rifle. The recoil has went from a very sharp kick to a very soft push and allows the shooter to shoot all day without being fatigued. I will definitely be installing this on all of my other rifles!

    The FalconStrike pad really works. I let another shooter with the same gun compare. After a round or two, he came back to me and said, that thing really works. I would have given the product top ratings, but I had to compromise the fit. No product listing for my Browning Crossover. I spoke with Mark and look forward to a grind to fit model. I will buy it.

    5 out of 5 Gun fit

    Ed j Pauly (verified owner)

    The three hydraulic recoils pads that I have fit the gun with little sanding of the base plate. The feel in the shoulder is good but I would like to have a curve from top to bottom so it fits into the shoulder better. The reduction of felt recoil isn’t real noticable with my CG but I think some foks with a shoulder problem and gun with recoil problems would love the pad. I only have 300 11/8 oz rounds thru the CG and new pad. I purchased the pads on this trap gun to have a sticky pad that would not slip in my mount, this pad does all that. My V3 will shoot 3″ mags duck and goose hunting and I hope the felt recoil will be reduced in that gun. I havn’t shot my Cortii Plus, which kicks like a muel, so I hope this will help my back up gun, over all I would purchase a Felcon Strike for your trap gun to help with felt recoil when shooting 400 rounds a day.

    Walt West (verified owner)

    I’ve used a Falcon Strike recoil system on my Krieghoff K-80 Trap Special for almost a year. I’ve also added a Falcon Strike to my Remington 700 in 30-06. Falcon Strike is the real deal! And, four of my buddies started using Falcon Strike shortly after they tried mine.

    In the process of determining the best fit for my K-80, Martin Gaudet offered advice and insight through email as well as phone calls.

    Even if you think that you’re not “recoil sensitive” the Falcon Strike system is a distinct advantage. Reducing recoil over a day of shooting 300-400 targets gives any shooter an advantage by reducing recoil induced fatigue.

This last Saturday I shot my highest score ever at sporting clays,95.I thought about quitting because of my shooting had declined but since I installed your pad I believe my shooting will continue to improve.

    Fred Mason (verified owner)

    80% Less Recoil Energy, 35% Less Muzzle Lift, 25% Less Peak Force, 35% Less Rock Back was not found on my 416 Rigby The Rock Back is the same as with the slip on pad I had before. 25% Less Peak Force is perhaps been achieved? Muzzle Lift is the same as before. Maybe 50% Less Recoil Energy but 80% should make it all but disappear? It looks a lot better than than the old slip on pad. However at least with my 416 Rigby the results in felt recoil are far below your stated numbers.

  104. Question

    s. salmon

    I live, work and hunt in Arizona. Crazy swings in ambient temperatures between summers down in the desert and winters up in the mountains. I am concerned about the affect of ambient temperatures on the effectiveness and longevity of this device. It will have to live on a rifle stock in 120 degree Farenheit temps in the summer at 1000′ above sea level and also in -10 degree Farenheit temps at 8000′ above sea level. If any of that will be beyond its design parameters it may not be the right product for me. The rifle is a heavy recoiling gun capable of taking large, dangerous game. Thanks for taking the time to answer this. Steve

    Marc (verified owner)

    Does as advertised, made a day of trap shooting much more tolerable. It will add length, if you plan on mounting to an adjustable butt plate you will have to cut your stock down a tad more than a standard pad. I had no problems mounting to the adjustable buttplate, but I did have to cut down the screws that fasten the falcon strike plate to the adjustable plate (most hardware that come with them are longer than needed for attaching through- the-pad screws). No modification to the falconstrike was needed. I had one clamp that is considerably harder to lock down than the other, although seems secure, I am a tad worried the locking system can loosen if taken on and off several times, I noticed a decent amount of wear just from taking on and off to fit to the adjustable buttplate on the locking tabs. I am a high volume trap shooter, once I get everything adjusted to where I need it I wont have to take it off anymore. A hunter or a casual target shooter shouldn’t have to worry…set it and forget it.

    GENE CALEB GREINER (verified owner)

    Not another recoil pad . original design that merits a good review . Installation is straight forward , I did go on line to find instructions that were more to my liking . I deducted a point because the base plate and pad were about 1/4 ” to long . I was careful to order as per the part number for my rifle however I suspect that this rifle has a slight variant than a standard M77 . This rifle was manufactured the late 1980’s and has very nice euorpean walnut and hand cut checkering . I was able to hide the over size by the use of a aftermarket check riser . Over all I am pleased . the next step will be to see how the recoil is mitigated.

    John Weeks (verified owner)

    First let me say I am 70 years old and don’t handle recoil as well as I used to. I’ve recently retired and am able to take advantage of things I’ve only dreamed of including an upcoming moose and an African hunt. I purchased an Interarms Whitworth chambered in 375 H&H magnum and have been shooting the Nosler Trophy Grade 300gr Partition bullet with 4330 ft-lb of energy. Prior to installing the Falcon Strike recoil pad I could only handle 3-4 shots before being bruised so badly I would take a minimum of two weeks to heal before being able to shoot any rifle again. Seriously, you can’t believe how bad the bruising was. With the Falcon Strike recoil pad I can easily handle 15 shots with no bruising and be ready to go again the following day. Even my wife shoots this gun now with no bruising. Not often have I run across any product that lives up to its hype as well as the Falcon Strike. I’ve since ordered a second one for my 270 and will report on it once I’ve had a chance to shoot it a few times.

    5 out of 5 Good Fit, Expected Less Recoil

    Don (verified owner)

    I installed this recoil reducer on my Remington 1100 for the purpose of significantly reducing the felt recoil during trap shooting. Martin was awesome in helping me find the correct size to fit my gun. It’s a very slight bit off, but hardly noticeable, and definitely functional. My first impression was that the recoil was not significantly reduced on low base trap loads, but I was surprised to find out that the recoil was the same for high base duck loads. As a veteran, they gave me a heck of a deal on the price. Looking forward to shooting more rounds of clays.

      Hi Cason, We designed the FalconStrike for 4250 foot-pounds muzzle energy, regardless of the gun or action. (375 H&H, 300 WM, etc.) The 450 bushmaster tops out at 3800 ft-lbs. – you should get a significant reduction in recoil energy and felt recoil with our hydraulic pad.
