[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1552842, member: 71039"] I agree 100% - see post #5 from me in this thread. I stand by what I said there. I have been out way to many times with guys who are yanking or flinching. Some of it is technique, some of it is just being afraid and anticipating the recoil or the even the loud crack from a rifle, especially if there is a brake on it. Also, I hate hunting with brakes and try and avoid hunting with people who hunt with brakes. I know people will say just buy a cannon and put a brake on it. I am not saying that doing that is bad, I just don't want any part of it. I already have a little tinnitus and I always have some sort of hearing protection on me. In the heat of the moment very rarely do I remember to use it. Also, on longer shots I like to be able to communicate with a buddy if they see something I don't before I pull the trigger, like "hold up, there is a cow behind that bull, let her clear first etc" If a hunting buddy wants me to try to spot his shot through the spotter or binos, or hold the horses, they know that will only happen if they aren't using a brake. Otherwise I am plugging my ears and we'll catch up with the horses back at the trailer..lol. [/QUOTE]
