I have a Correct Period Pad that is manufactured by Galaza. I like the looks of the pad as I'm going to do a leather cover treatment. But this thing is about as hard of a pad as I've ever seen. I enjoy my time shooting and really dont care to take a beating everytime I pull the trigger. In the past I have used the Pachmyer Decelerators and I like them, but I dont want to butcher one up to do the leather thing. I came across another pad called the Technically Superior Recoil Pad. Has anyone here used this pad and what did you think of it as far as tameing recoil? If it's like the Kick Ezz I wont like it...but if it's between or like the Decelerator that works for me.
So, what do you like about the Period Pad or the advertised softer Superior Pad, is there any real diffrences between the two? "OH" if I hear any crap about being a recoil sissy, I'll have a talk with Santa and guess what is not going to show up under the tree this year!

Merry CHRISTmas to all
Thanks

Guess I'll have to wait until this Soverns thing gets over with...

I've used some of the Galazan pads you mention and have had mixed results. I tend to believe the black base material is not consistent. Sometines breaks if you give it a dirty look.

On the plus side, they are somewhat softer than t he Silvers (brick) and harder than the Kick Eze (mush). The Kick Eze tends to break off large pieces unless you really round the edges..then sometimes breaks off anyway...Guess you have read between the lines that I don't like them.

For a leather covered pad, I personally like to use the Silvers, but HAVE covered the Kick Eze...Best to use the thinner varities, though.

(In a Borat voice)Whaaat!????

Why not butcher the decelerator? They are my favorite pads to use or abuse.

Thanks for the replies,
I've done one Kick Eze / thats all I want, in a couple of months a chunk fell off...yup, there crap!
I was wandering about the Technically Superior Pad made by Galazan, as far as being how much softer than the Perios correct pad.
Hell, I just might order a Decelator pad and go to town with it. Didnt think I wanted to mess with taking a cartridge and useing it to cut out the screw holes. Would like to under cut the rubber and save the plugs, but if memory serves me right I have a pad that shows a little silver (metal) on one side of a pad. Hum cant remember how it got that way... Could cut it flush and make plugs from that. Useing dowl rods just dont seem right.
Again, Thanks!

I don't see how you can "butcher" the decelerator. Leather covered many. I make up[ a "hole saw", then grab the "hole" with a pair of thin nose pliers and just yank the out the cavity. I make the plug out of cork...still would rather use the Silvers....

Duane, "butcher" may have been a little on the strong side. If you will permit me to change that word, I'll change it to "LAZY"... .
My thinking was if the Tech. Superior Pad was close to being the same or close to the Decelerator I'd just order it. I have never had any trouble with any Decelerator pad base.
I thank you for answering my questions, as you have done this far more then I, and I respect your word and the work you do, so it's always good to get an answer from you. THANK YOU!

And to all A Merry CHRISTmas

Decelarator by far. Easy to shape to what you have. Soft pad for around $30

I too have a decelerator showing some "silver". If you mangle or can't find your other one I'd be happy to send it to you. Cheaper than new if it's going to be covered. Just let me know...
