Have one rifle with a brake - Accumark 30/378. I enjoy shooting the rifle from the bench because of the brake but do agree 100% in double ear protection and consideration for those around you. Last summer I set off two car alarms on the first shot - kinda funny but just tells you the noise and concussion coming out of the barrel. If I shoot at a public range I will always get away from others and notify those around me - unless some one plops down right beside me and starts in hammering me with their braked whatever - then it's the boys with the toys get out their tape measures to see who has the biggest... My brake serves a purpose for me but understand why others don't want them or be around them.
