Trap shooters, this Beretta Micro-core competition recoil pad is a game-changer for managing that shoulder punch from your shotgun. It's specifically designed for 12 gauge trap competition guns with straight stocks (just note - it doesn't fit hunting stocks or curved stocks). The .71 inch thickness gives you just the right amount of cushion without changing your gun's fit too much. What makes it special is the open cell technopolymer material - it's soft, lightweight, and actually slides on your clothing during shouldering, then expands instantly when you fire to give you maximum surface area and support. This micro-core design means less perceived recoil and more comfort during those long practice sessions or competitions. It's developed from Beretta's decades of experience in competition shooting worldwide, so you know it's been tested by serious shooters. Important to note - it doesn't fit competition type stocks measuring 12.6 cm, or specific models like the S55, A301, A302, and ASE93. Also, the KICK-OFF System shown in some pictures isn't included - that's sold separately. If you're tired of dealing with shoulder bruising and want to shoot more comfortably, this recoil pad makes a noticeable difference. It's one of those accessories that seems simple but really improves your shooting experience, especially when you're putting lots of rounds downrange during practice or competition.
