[QUOTE="ATH, post: 2315551, member: 1656"] With a kid in the picture that changes things. My 9yo son was recoil sensitive so I built him an AR pistol in 6.5 Grendel with a Heathen brake with 90 degree rear ports to reduce blast. Worked well for him. But my 11yo daughter won't shoot the rifle due to the combination of short barrel and noise...she shot the same brake on a 22 inch 6X45 with no complaints. But she's also recoil sensitive so I'm left with limited options for this particular kid other than going through the paperwork for a suppressor over the next year, as the 6X45 was never a convenient option for a person of her stature. In general, I'm a fan of the 90 degree rear ports. IMHO they do greatly reduce blast felt to the shooter. They don't maximize recoil reduction but it's a matter of balance. I use such a brake on my 14lb 338 Edge. [/QUOTE]
