[QUOTE="villagelightsmith, post: 1711887, member: 68421"] But they do make me tired. I detest muzzle brakes. They hurt my head; they hurt my very bones. I don't say a word when a braked Savage Striker in a WSSM shows up at our General Purpose (GP, 100 yard) covered firing lines, I simply go up to the clubhouse and read, palaver, or find some shady spot to take a nap. Our noisy friend has every right to be there and shoot, and I know he won't be there long. NObody can stand such acoustical trauma for long. After an hour or so, I drive back down to the GP 100 yard range where I can shoot for the rest of the day ... or until another skull'n'bone-breaker shows up. Leaving the bench for more pleasant environs is no big deal for me. I have the rest of my life to live and can shoot any time I want. But this old hoss isn't going to stick around while, even unknowingly, somebody hurts me. Toward the extreme end of noise sensitivity there's even a seriously described medical condition of hypersensitivity to sound. I've met a sufferer from it. Really sad ... he can't EVER really enjoy shooting, except, perhaps the quiet Olympic Air Gun. There's no such thing as a "quiet brake" unless you're talking about suppressors. IMHO, suppressors should be considered a matter of modern shooting etiquette. [/QUOTE]
