[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1492832, member: 30902"] This is worthy of reiterating and expanding on for sure. The more a brake directs the blast back towards the shooter the more damaging it will be to your ears. Some of the most efficient recoil reducing brakes direct the gases back at around 40deg or more which is really punishing on the shooter. Between my time in the service and too many years of not hunting/shooting with proper hearing protection I've lost over half of my hearing and will never get it back. Knowing what we know today and with all the options available there's no excuses left for not using hearing protection every time we head out. [/QUOTE]
