    I'd like to see a side by side comparison with a Limb Saver, to see if the huge price gap is really worth it.

  • @RC-ed3sc

    I installed Falcon Strike Custom Pads on my matching pair 12 gauge and 20 gauge Franchi Instinct Sideplates. The recoil on the 12 was banging the snot outta my cheek and my shoulder. A round of skeet, or 5 Stand and I was rocking a headache and a sore cheek. With the Falcon Strike installed on the 12 gauge, I shot limits of doves for five days without any discomfort whatsoever.
    I installed a Falcon Strike on the 5 lb 7oz 20 gauge and it is even more delightful to shoot than it was previously. An added benefit to the Falcon Strike installations is that by using 1/8" spacers, both guns are now exactly at 15" LOP which is the perfect fit for my long arms and has increased my ability to hit what I'm shooting at. Great product, worth the $.

    Alot of folks are mentioning the limbsaver recoil pads and as I have/do use them, both the original & airtech model, I can say they work wonderfully!!! That said, the only actual "pad" I've used, and still do, is the Remington supercell recoil pad. I realize this pad is made specifically for Remington firearms they will fit other firearms (maybe not a factory look) but they fit. And I can tell you this, I have one on a 7mm Rem mag, the rifle weighs around 8 lbs. +/- and the recoil is equal to that of a .243 Remington round. I used one on an 870 gun (turkey specific) and the recoil was that of a stout 20 gauge turkey load....bare in mind I was shooting 3.5" 2 oz. turkey loads out of an 8lb. shotgun. The next closest recoil reduction system I would consider for this kind of money is the Beretta kick off. Honestly here's the way I approach having to shoot alot of harsh recoiling firearms. Put that baby in a lead sled for your testing/sighting in process, and honestly I and alot of folks never feel "the shot" when hunting. Hope thus helps!!!

  • @Lethal_Intent

    Glad it worked for you but it looked more like a length of pull issue rather than felt recoil reduction.

      What led you to that conclusion. The FalconStrike increased the length of pull just slightly.

    • @Lethal_Intent
      @Lethal_Intent 3 роки тому +4

      @@TargetFocusedLife The longer LoP fitted your shoulder pocket better with the mount leaving less chance for a gap without you having to choke up on the stock. Also the longer LoP can help with the pitch of the shotgun reducing the comb slapping your face as hard. I guess the extra elastic can help with felt recoil reduction but ill hazard a guess a proper gun fit would've done as good as or a better job. I know you're a great shot so you can pretty much use anything and hit what you need to but a good gun fit is a must for things like FITASC to stay consistent and minimising flip, felt recoil etc. On top of that id love to see some shooting from you at sporting or maybe some tours of the venues you can shoot at in the US as being in the UK i haven't been able to travel to any of the international shoots the past year or so! Keep up the great content.

  • @johnhutcheson8869
    @johnhutcheson8869 6 місяців тому +1

    The website says it adds 1- 3/8" to the LOP. I wish you had measured from the trigger ...before and after installation....to confirm if that is accurate. I am concerned the overall LOP will be too much as the stock on a Citori is already 14-1/4"......maybe lose 1/4" when you remove the factory butt plate??

    i have a Beretta 1301 shotgun - with the Magpul SGA stock. Ordered from the "custom-fit pads" product section (in hindsight I think I was supposed to order from the "multi-fit pads"). The product arrives - and it does not fit the Magpul SGA stock. So I order the Magpul SGA adapter - that supposedly makes the stock more "standard". Now the Falconstrike does fit, but there is like a half-inch gap on top - the pad sits asymmetrical to the stock. Not pretty - but if the product delivers on its promise it will be worth it. I will find out in a few days when I go to the range - will report back.

      @@highermedia Hi. I am pretty happy with the Falconstrike. I think it makes the shotgun more comfortable to shoot. I didn"t do any A/B comparison testing, so hard to say, and its still a shotgun with the expected kick. My recommendation is shoot the heck out of your shotgun and memorize how it feels. Then get the falconstrike and see if YOU notice a difference.
      Just make sure you stock fits the falconstrike - i had some issue with that.

    I have the Bass Pro Ultimate Special 101. I just happened to get one by luck with high grade flamed wood. It shoots great especially with the diffuser chokes. BUT, like you I can handle the shoulder recoil, but it is the Mike Tyson punch in my jaw that leaves me sore for week. I have considered selling the gun and buyin something else, but it is too pretty. I have looked into the Gracoils but pricey. This option looks interesting but my question is, can the pad be custom fit? The overhang on your firearm would drive me crazy. I am a little OCD. I enjoyed the video.

      I’ve shot a shotgun all my life(I’m 71) and I never even thought about recoil until I got up in age and got on blood thinners. And I shot mostly double guns which you know kick more than the autos. My point is that most shooters wouldn’t use a recoil reducer unless they had to but it’s nice to know it’s there when we need it. I’m willing to try it rather than quit shooting altogether.
