How loud are brakes, to the shooter, in a hunting situation, in the woods?

[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1340273, member: 52437"] I read a long article by a doctor who did a study on this which showed that while high powered rifles hit very high decibels 150+ the sound out of a nonbraked rifle is projected forward and that the noise coming back towards the shooter is back in the range where a one time event does not cause any permanent damage. Long term repeated exposure certainly would so while they still recommended hearing protection, it would not cause any permenant damage on a one shot shooting situation where the sound was not being echoed back to the shooter such as out of a blind, structure, or next to a wall. I will try to find the article. As an FYI we wear protection at all times minus when we are hunting. If we are hunting together, then we wear protection but when by ourselves and far apart we do not and also we are wearing very thick winter hats which while certainly not considered earplugs, definitely reduce the sound [/QUOTE]
