[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 72954"] [ QUOTE ] I don't like brakes because of the additional rear or 90 degree noise. Sometimes you don't have the time to put on the ear muffs. [/ QUOTE ] During long range hunting when animals present a shot generally you have enough time to insert ear protection and should anyway at all times (but we all konw that isnt always the case). The only time I dont use hearing protection is when I am hunting woods where timelyness of shots is key and animals normally arent sticking around so hearing is needed for assertation of animals whereas when hunting long range seeing is key rather than hearing. If your viewing animals through spotter scopes then you have ample enough time to put on hearing or ear plugs. Animals in the open 500 yards away will allow you to do a lot of things you normally couldnt do when hunting wooded areas where 200 yards or less is between you and the inetended prey. You should also condition yourself to ignore the flinching and concentrate on trigger control and breathing, this I find takes my mind off any possible flinching I may or may not be worried about. The sporter weight 300 wby I shot was a sever shoulder slammer but I managed a 1.5 in group with three shots. I did not wish to or want to do more load testing for smaller groups as this was his walking gun and used for stalking in wooded areas so 1.5 is very acceptable. Needless to say I will not shoot that rifle anymore without some sort of gun vise testing system where recoil can be controlled a bit more by mechanical means rather than my shoulder. [/QUOTE]
