[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1897786, member: 63925"] Perfect thought from my perspective since I NEVER considered it before. Last year, I shot a pretty nice buck at about 300 with a Sendero 300WM with 200AB in a cut cornfield and I did not see the hit, the buck did not bronco kick or stagger and basically like it was clean miss. He was running up along a hedgerow and I was trying to get on him and he started to stagger and went down. Absolutely nothing in the shot that I "could see" after the recoil to give me data on the "hit". I would bet there was an indicator but just didn't see it from rifle recoil off Bog shooting sticks while sitting. I never thought I needed a brake for recoil since I am 6'4" 255 but the felt recoil is not the real reason to consider a brake now that I actually understand there is a really good reason to have one. I've only started to shoot farther since Indiana allows rifle on private so in really large tracts of cut corn or bean you can easily have mid range 500-600 shots that a brake is good idea. I know some folks will ask why in a cut ag field but remember you have to keep this deer on your land for most part so knowing the shot can be big deal in followup considerations. [/QUOTE]
