Im tired of getting my clock cleaned shooting turkey loads in my 835 mossberg.

Anybody use the simms recoil pads? I was thinking of changing out the stock pad for a 'softer' one.
 
I bought one of the Past magnum recoil pads several years back after going on blood thinners. You should have seen the bloody shoulder and arm to the mid forearm after a session with a 35 Whelen. I also put a recoil pad on that rifle. Since then I've always protected myself at the range and it helps my shooting. Good ear protection and recoil protection will improve your shooting. More recently I've got a little more diligent in my use of glasses also and invested in a really good pair. It's not hard to wear them when they actually improve my vision of the target. Cheaper ones encouraged me to dismiss them. The Past pad has held up well over the years and will work with any rifle or shotgun. You might want to think that way when patterning as well as the Simms for use in the field. It sure helps.

And all this time from the looks of your face I thought you were standing up to liberals.
 
The Simms recoil pad really does make a difference.
Another thing you can to to tame the beast is to add weight to the gun. If you have a hollow composite stock, you can fill it with sand and little bits of lead from wheel weights. A light weight gun can put a hurtin' on ya.
The Simms by itself will help a lot. Adding weight is even better.

I have one of the slip-over models on a bolt-action Remington 700 VLS in .308. The recoil wasn't so bad on such a heavy rifle but I needed the stock a tad longer and couldn't afford a new stock. That was several years ago and the VLS still wears the slip-over pad. It also reduced the recoil from a shove to a push in my .308 VLS
