A 
New Recoil Pad. 
To prevent the RECOIL of a GUN. I have a HEEL 
PAD, made ot VERY FLEXIBLE RUBBER, which 
is pnt over the Bntt of Slock, on the principle of an 
overshoe, it does away with the heretofore expen- 
sive mode of altering the stock and applying an un- 
sightly looking Heel Pad, spoiling 'he symmetry and 
looks of the whole Gun, and which, when adlnsted, 
must remain. Whereas the NEW RECOIL PAD 
can be put on and taken off In a moment, so as to be 
used for heavy chargee only. 
It has been pronounced by the moat prominent 
sportsmen to whom I have shown same and who 
had tried it, as the most complete article ever In 
vented In this line. It Is an Indispensable accessory 
to a sportsman's outfit. Very respectfully,
