[QUOTE="palerider3, post: 1744905, member: 82117"] So, you're saying a brake is a crutch for poor form? All those PRS shooters must have terrible form then, because 98% of them run a brake at the professional level, and those other two are just old school still running suppressors. You can spot your impacts without a brake on a 7 mag or 300 RUM huh? From field positions too you say? Good for you. Spot a miss on a snowbank then or out into a field of sage and tell me where it went? Having a brake gives you a much better chance of being able to follow trace. And sometimes that's all you get. I get the downside of the difference in noise, which is why I usually hunt suppressed, but I don't get people talking down to someone who wants the best chance they can get of spotting an impact or following trace. To the OP, in your situation I'd run a can or a brake without thinking twice about it. And don't let anyone give you a hard time about using a brake. Shooting without a brake doesn't make anyone tougher or cooler or more of a man than anyone else, no matter what they might think. [/QUOTE]
