[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 211097, member: 5"] One spot where we shoot locally is up a small canyon. It's about 500 yards to the end of the bottom and both sides and the end go up pretty steep. We've noticed in shooting and being up in the canyon behind a safe spot that the guns with the QD/baffle type brakes are very quiet as far as muzzle blast goes. You see a puff from the muzzle area and hear the sonic crack but at 500 yards the muzzle blast is very muffled. If we weren't in the canyon it would be even quieter. I'm looking forward to trying the PK brake in the canyon as from what little I've experienced so far, I'm betting that it will be very quiet. I shot an elk with the AM with QD brake a couple of years back at a range of about 690 yards from me. The other elk in the bunch didn't react as if they heard the sound they just moved off in the direction dictated by the lay of the land. We talked to a couple of guys later on that were about 400-500 yards up and behind the elk in a small little draw and they said they never heard the shot at all. An efficient brake works by directing gasses in the best possible direction. This means more noise for the shooter, although it may be a more manageable noise. It also means that the noise level down range is a non issue after you get a ways out. Use a good brake, muffle the down range sound and hide the bullet impact in the animals body. It just doesn't get any better than that.;);) [/QUOTE]
