nuther' question
« on: January 01, 2010, 05:55:30 AM »
this one is concerning the t/c encore composite stock,,,a couple friends that have composite stocks have told me i could remove the recoil pad and stuff rhe stock with either a craft item (angle hair) or either styrofoam p-nuts and it would help the handling of the rifle and absorb some recoil..anyone ever do this  or heard of it

I did that once, but not for recoil but for noise. It seemed like everytime I went to stalk something I'd make contact with somthing and get this big bonk and needless to say I did'nt like that

I have heard of guys spraying foam insulation in the stock-----Like tcbnick said it was for noise reduction.

I used high quality carpet underlayment (pad) folded and stuffed tight. It works very well. Helps to balance the rifle better, stock sounds solid withouth the hollow sound. I put on one of the very soft recoil pads at the same time so I think that is what softened the recoil. It made a huge possitive improvement.

you all wereright,after asking them again about the recoil ,they said that stuffing the stock was'nt to help recoil ,but the bumping hollow sound while huntin.said even a limb rubbing across it would scare deer 100 yd's or more..guess i'll come up with something..(spray foam) reckon' that will do it               thank's again
