Do you have youth shooters that love to shoot, but hate the recoil? If you do, you will want to check out the ShockEater Shooting Shirts for Youth from Gamp Sports. These customizable shooting shirts are designed with a shooting pad pocket that holds a ShockEater Recoil Pad.

What’s that, You haven’t heard of ShockEater? It’s a fairly new company, which has developed a unique shooting pad that is only 1.4 ounces in weight, and a mere 8mm thick, while maintaining a 6 1/2 X 3 1/2 inch size. They have incorporated a proprietary Nano-Poly™ technology into the pads which reduces felt recoil without changing the length of pull or altering your appearance. These pads provide superior shock absorption, in a form that is lighter and thinner than any foam or gel can provide. The pads conform to you and your gun to provide “proper gun fit and improving pitch and toe angles at the butt-stock”¹ These pads can help with shooting recoil from the newest beginner, all the way to the most seasoned professional.
I played with a ball of ShockEater Nano-Poly technology, and it defied logic. Like the pads, with a sharp impact, like recoil, the molecules stiffen and lock together to form a solid state that maximizes the recoil absorption. After impact, these same molecules relax and return to a soft and conformable state, ready for the next shot, impact or recoil. Playing with this ball of Nano-Poly, it felt a good bit like play doh, but when the ball was struck on the table, it shattered because it was so stiff. I was then able to knead the ball back into a pliable state, over and over again!

The Shooting Shirts are available for either left or right hand shooters, in 36 color options. The sizes range from Youth Medium to Youth XL. If your youth shooter needs a larger size, there are both men’s and women’s sizes available also.All of the shirts are 6 ounce preshrunk, 100% cotton, unless you order the Safety Orange or Safety Green, then they come in the 50/50 cotton/polyester material. The breathable quilted pocket is sewn on the appropriate shoulder for your youth, and each shirt comes with a ShockEater Recoil Pad.

Sarah wore the ShockEater Youth Shooting Shirt on a recent day shooting clay pigeons. She does not like recoil, but even after several rounds of shooting, she was still ready for more! Sarah told me “The shooting shirt is comfortable, and did not hinder my range of movement. The recoil pad absorbed almost all of the recoil and made shooting a lot more enjoyable.” She now has ShockEater Recoil Pads in her Shooting Shirt and Miz Mac Shooting Vest.

The Snake Chapz are made from 900 Denier Nylon and 18 oz. vinyl laminated polyester, which protects your youth from venomous snake bites, briars, and many other hazards they may encounter. The zipper is a number ten on the inside of each chap; this provides easy on and easy off for your child. The chapz design offer 100% full protection from the foot all the way to the waist, with comfortable knee movement. Being as children are so much closer to the ground, that extra height of protection is important. Snake bites cannot puncture the lining of the chaps.They are penetration tested to ASTM-1342-05 specifications. There are four sizes for youth: Youth 4-5-6 with a 17″ inseam and a thigh circumference of 13′, Youth 7-8-9 with a 19.5″ inseam and a thigh circumference of 15″, Youth 10-11-12 with a 22″ inseam and a thigh circumference of 16″ and the largest youth size they offer is the Youth 13-14-15 with a 24.5″ inseam and a thigh circumference of 17″. Order using the inseam and thigh circumference for best fit. These Snake Chapz are offered in both khaki tan and camo, to best fit your needs.

When I am hunting, either my twelve-year-old granddaughter or my ten-year-old grandson will be only a few steps behind me. I am always alert to any possibility of them getting hurt or bit. Snakes can be one of those threats that you generally do not see until they are striking at you. Since it is hard to avoid hunting areas frequented by snakes, the only solution is to be prepared! My grandson, Ryan, wore the Youth Snake Chapz on a recent spring hunt. Not only did I feel confident that he was protected from snake bites, he was also able to push through the briars and thorns without being stuck and ripped by their sharp points. I can’t wait for our fall hunts; these chaps will also protect against burrs.There is nothing worse than coming in from your hunt, and finding that your outerwear is full of burrs, and generally they need to be removed one at a time. That shouldn’t be an issue this fall!

For more information go to http://crackshotcorp.com/. The MSRP of the Youth Snake Chapz is $75.95, and you can find a retailer at http://crackshotcorp.com/dealers.html.  Being protected is better than having to get medical attention, especially for your youth! Best of all-these are 100% made in the USA!
