ABSTRACT:
An adjustable shoulder pad for use on the end of the stock of a rifle or shotgun, containing a number of generally parallel, elongate slots of essentially consistent size and configuration, extending from side to side through the pad. These slots define a number of struts that angle downwardly at a compound angle, that is, slots that are in an angular relationship to each of two planes that are orthogonally disposed. One of such planes is the one in which the bullet or shot is to travel, whereas the other plane extends laterally away from the shooter. The struts defined by these slots tend to bend and buckle somewhat at the time the shooter places my adjustable shoulder pad against a designated shoulder, so as to cause the pad to conform to the configuration of his shoulder. Further tendency of the struts to buckle is encountered at the time the gun is fired. The amount of energy to be absorbed by my novel pad can be selectively varied by the user, who can insert a desired number of strips, such as of an elastomer, into such slots, thereby to lessen the tendency of said struts to buckle. The preferred material for the adjustable shoulder pad is an elastomer containing a large number of tiny, closed cell bubbles.
