slip on cheek pad

[SPUSCG]

shot trap my first time today. It was fun but my cheek got banged up. Is there any good pads that dont cost much i can just slip over the stock?

You can make a temporary cheek piece with several layers of self-stick moleskin. (The stuff you put in new shoes to reduce rubbing pain.) This will let you build-up the comb for a custom fit. Also, an old school face saver, next time you might try a liberal dose of pre-shave talc on the cheek.

There are slip on comb pads / pads that strap onto comb - Browells, etc.

There is no way to tell without watching you shoot what is really going on - but there may be too much drop at the comb for you, so it recoiling into your cheek bone vs recoiling straight back under the cheek bone. But it may be a combination of fundamental issues as well - on mount, grip.

If you pain is at the front of the cheek bone - then the gun has way too much drop / angle at the comb to fit you. But before you try the moleskins or any kind of a pad - spend some time with an experienced shooter that can help you figure out what is causing the face slap. If the pain is in your cheek bone - the comb may have to come up at least 3/4" or more to keep the gun from smacking you / assuming you have it in your shoulder properly, gripping it firmly, not letting go as you execute the shot, etc.

i think stock is a little short

Length of pull is a fit factor as well - but it won't cause face slap - so there is something else going on as well.

Shotguns do not come in one size fits all - they need to be adjusted to fit the shooter.

Let's keep the questions simple:
Often in this, and other forums, seemingly simple questions can have several interpretations. This isn't meant to belittle SPUSCG, but his question is a good example. The original, "shot trap my first time today. It was fun but my cheek got banged up. Is there any good pads that dont cost much i can just slip over the stock?" can be a request for parts availability or a cry for help. In the simple question almost too much information was provided.

If all that's wanted is a parts source, then we don't need the rest of the story: "Where can I get a ___ for a ____ shotgun, model ____?" If you want to avoid getting your cheek getting banged up, then the question could have been something like: "shot some trap, and my ________ shotgun beat-up my cheek, HELP"
I read the question as request for a cheap way to raise his stock, hence the moleskin recommendation. If all you wanted was a source for a slip on pad, then a google search is much faster than this forum. By coming here, it's assumed you want more that the results from a search engine.

Seems BigJimP read the question as a request for help. I'm in total agreement with his recommendation, the importance of individual gun fit can't be over emphasized. We're also in agreement: Many targets are shot with guns having too much drop.

You can tote your field gun all day to only get off a few shots (in my area, a dove limit might represent half a box of shells), and you won't question your stock fit. Take that same gun to a range, shoot several hundred shells in a few hours, and stock fit problems may become apparent.

This is a good choice to pad your comb to see if it helps.

Provides a custom-fit gunstock cheek height. Holds proper sight and eye alignment with your cheek on the pad. Change spacers under the pad to control point of impact. Each step of spacer height is approximately 1/16". 11 height adjustments - 1/16" thru 5/8". Adhesive backed velcro fasteners (included) will not damage stock. Easy to apply to the stock and to change height up or down.

To increase stock length try a slip on recoil pad. You can then see if these quick changes help. If they do you might consider altering your stock.
