[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 903435, member: 63748"] All of my LR hunting rifles utilize a brake either radial or directional. Blast debris be it dirt, vegetation or the combination caused from a 4 to 8 directional wind can be detrimental with follow on shots, spotting your initial shot and so on. You’ve nailed this problem, place something under your blast area. For practice sessions what’s wrong with bringing along a couple of extra gallons of water? Soak the area where your brake blast will contact the dry ground. As stated a shooting mat works great. For hunting from a hide you can take that extra layer of clothing out of your backpack and place it under your radial or to the upwind side of your directional. Use your backpack if you don’t have other material to help suppress the debris blast. Most of us have been there before and it’s not fun having your face and scope filled with debris making spotting and that follow on shot much more difficult. Same concept applies with a non-braked barrel. If you have the time and can control your shooting location reduce or eliminate that debris blast area. Happy shooters make happy shots! [/QUOTE]
