Do recoil pads work for shotguns?
So, yes, they do work as long as the recoil pad is made properly. No matter what firearm platform you choose to shoot there is one ever-present factor that plagues them all. One undeniable force that has caused not only frustration but depending on the firearm literal physical discomfort as well.
Why do some shotguns kick more than others?
The feet-per-second (FPS) rating is often on the box of shells. The faster the velocity, the more it kicks. Stay away from an FPS rating of more than 1,200, although the ideal speed should be around 1,150. If someone hands you a box of 1,300 FPS shotgun shells, expect to get whacked by recoil.

What shotgun gauge has the least kick?
Gun Weight: The heavier the gun, the less it recoils, which is one reason target guns, which are shot a great deal, weigh more than field guns, which are carried more and shot less. “Gauge” isn’t part of the recoil equation, either. A heavy 12 gauge will recoil less than a light 20 gauge if both shoot similar loads.
