A shotgun shell wad in the form of a one piece structure formed from polyethylene or the like including an obturating disc or cup and a shot cup or protector in spaced apart relation axially of the shell in which the side wall of the cup is segmented petal fashion; a shock absorbing filler connects the disc and cup in the form of pairs of angled struts on either side of the axis of the shell, with the struts of each pair being respectively parallelly angled inwardly of the shell axis to define folding apexes therein, and with such folding axes being spaced apart axially of the shell, whereby on firing of the shell in which the wad is placed, such struts fold free of interference with each other in cushioning the accelerating forces acting on the shot and recoil acting on the gun. The connection of the struts to the cup is such that the folding action of the struts arcs the floor of the cup to fling wide open the cup petals when the wad leaves the gun muzzle, making for quick drop away of the wad from flight.
