[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 2026432, member: 29241"] I remember back in high school we would get together and play tackle football. No helmet, pads just shorts and t-shirt. Thought we were cool to take all that punishment. Looking back I realize it wasnt cool when at least knee pads and elbow pads would have been nice. I started racing dirt bikes and wore work boots and flannel shirt. I didnt want to look like a dude all dressed up. The experienced racers looked like soldiers in star wars. After a head first plow over a jump, I too looked like star wars. With a rifle that has considerable recoil, I cannot see why one would not want a brake (break). I never shoot without ear protection, even 22 rimfire, so the loud factor has no bearing on to brake or not to brake. I used to be "tough" and didnt want a break and shooting groups one day a friend slipped in an empty and I flinched badly. I prefer a break, a heavier gun and a light trigger, all to prevent flinching. We are talking long range hunting. Pretty hard to shoot much distance at all with a 7 lb 460 weatherby and 5 lb trigger. I can say to you, hold still I'm gonna crack you on the forehead with this hammer handle. Hold still I am gonna crack you again on same spot. I dont think anyone of us would not flinch. [/QUOTE]
