Recoil Pad Question???

[Redneck Plumber]

Has anyone installed a recoil pad on their excal?
I was thinking of installing one. I really don't have all that much meat on my bone's and I thought that it might help. I noticed that after about 20 shot's or so my shoulder get's a bit of a sore spot from the narrow plastic butt of the stock. I am used to shooting rifle's and have put the rubber recoil pads on a couple of them and was wonering if it will affect the performance of a crossbow.

I could be wrong but it seems to me a crossbow has fore-coil not recoil. With the string moving foreward with tramendous velocity and stopping suddenly it seems to pull the bow foreward. Whatcha think?

g'day, when sight in l use a outers gun rest, l hear what your saying but l hold the bow lets say the exomax hard & tight against my shoulder even though its in a rest l still hold it tight so there is quite abit of shock from the bow being fired. frank

Nothing like my Ruger .44 mag or my PA Hunter .50 caliber sidelock or even my .380 Kel-Tec but I defiantly feel a bit recoil from my Exocet 200.

Check out the second post here about using a length of pipe insulation for cheek piece or butt extender. Should also work OK as a recoil pad... http://www.excaliburcrossbow.com/phpBB2 ... =1&t=34993
