BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
 1. Field of the Invention
 The present invention relates to a stockbutt system and more particularly
 pertains to abating shock during the firing of a rifle.
 2. Description of the Prior Art
 The use of firing arms of various designs and configurations is known in
 the prior art. More specifically, firing arms of various designs and
 configurations heretofore devised and utilized for the purpose of
 improving the use of firing arms through known methods and apparatuses are
 known to consist basically of familiar, expected, and obvious structural
 configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the
 crowded prior art which has been developed for the fulfillment of
 countless objectives and requirements.
 By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,375,360 to Vatterott discloses a
 Cushioned Shoulder Pad for Rifle or Shotgun. U.S. Pat. No. 4,551,937 to
 Seehase discloses a Recoil Pad Utilizing Struts Disposed At a Compound
 Angle and Having Adjustable Energy-Absorbing Characteristics.
 U.S. Pat. No. 5,461,813 to Mazzola discloses an Air Coil. U.S. Pat. No.
 Des. 376,188 to Rjecken discloses a Gun Stock Recoil Pad. International
 Application Number PCT/US87/02445 to Electronic Warfare Associates, Inc.
 discloses a Trigger Means for a Weapon Control System. Lastly, U.S. Pat.
 No. 1,328,924 to Kennedy discloses a Resilient Recoil Pad for Gun Stocks.
 While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and
 requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe stockbutt system
 as disclosed herein.
 In this respect, the stockbutt system according to the present invention
 substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the
 prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for
 the purpose of abating shock during the firing of a rifle.
 Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need for a
 new and improved stockbutt system which can be used to abate shock during
 the firing of a rifle. In this regard, the present invention substantially
 fulfills this need.

 system which has all the advantages of the prior art and none of the
 disadvantages.
 To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises a new and
 improved stockbutt system for rifles to abate shock during the firing of a
 rifle comprising, in combination, a rifle having a barrel at the far end
 and a butt at the near end with firing mechanisms and a trigger there
 between. The butt of the rifle has a near most first end in a generally
 planar configuration perpendicular to the axis of the barrel. An insert
 has a first end with a concave configuration when viewed from the side and
 a teardrop configuration when viewed from the end. The teardrop shape
 includes an upper semicircular curve at the top with a diameter
 essentially equal to the diameter of the widest portion of the butt and
 with downwardly tapering side edges terminating in a U-shaped
 configuration at the bottom. The lower semicircular curve has a diameter
 less than the upper semicircular curve. The insert has an essentially flat
 farmost face in its size and shape to correspond to the rearmost face of
 the butt. A coupling component is provided in the form of an adhesive
 coupling the far most face of the insert to the rearmost face of the
