XCoil® recoil pads are constructed of a composite proven superior at dampening recoil. Our testing has shown that the XCoil® absorbs felt recoil more effectively than any other recoil pad currently available.

With today’s trend toward magnum and short magnum rifle calibers and 3 1/2″ magnum shotgun loads, the energy pushing a projectile out the muzzle means magnum-level recoil on your shoulder. The XCoil® is the answer. XCoil®’s composition also resists slipping when shouldered for consistent gun positioning.

The HIVIZ® XCoil® is currently offered in three sizes and two different textures. These pads are grindable allowing for a true custom fit. Available in models to fit virtually any rifle or shotgun. Refer to the diagrams and selection chart at left to determine which pad is right for you.

Recoil, the unavoidable result of pulling a trigger, is the shooter’s arch enemy. Rifle shooters refer to “pulling the shot”. Shotgunners call it “flinching”. Whatever we call it, the accumulative affect of recoil causes the subconscious mind to resist subjecting the body to yet another blow. Preventing recoil issues is far easier than curing them.

A gun that fits properly and the use of light recoiling ammunition are highly recommended. However, the most common accessory available to mitigate against recoil is a good recoil pad. A good recoil pad must be soft enough to slow down and redirect the forces of recoil. It must also recover from its compressed state quickly enough to be ready for a second shot. Proper shape and texture enable a pad to mount quickly but must offer enough traction to prevent the recoil pad from moving on the shoulder between shots. All of the above attributes are incorporated into the XCoil® from HIVIZ®. Now there is no excuse for taking heavy recoil.
