How many are running Muzzle Brakes?

[beltfed]

We had our first match of the year, and several guys had issues with cross firing. This is compounded by the fact our firing points don't line up, there is a shift of the targets in the butts and therefore the position numbers are off - depending where you are on the line and at what range.
Needless to say, we have some work to do...
With that said, I found myself aligning on the target next to me several times after a few recoil impulses - which got me thinking (in the middle of a match no less) about brakes.
I have one on a shorty carbine, but how many run one for Service Rifle?
How about those that don't that are thinking of starting?
Any negative effect on accuracy at the longer ranges?

Cheers!

I wouldn't be without one on my Service Rifle. Makes a real difference in rapids and two shot snaps. No negative effect on accuracy.
Installed a Shrewd brand on my Service Rifle, just fitted a Smith Enterprises on the carbine barrel. Was going to put the Smith on the SR, but forgot that I threaded the SR barrel 9/16". AR standard is 12/2x28. The Shrewd is quite effective, but vents 360 degrees. Bit untidy on sandy ground.
Sounds as if a bit of range work is needed, get the firing positions and target numbers sorted out.

Not exactly a muzzle break, but I have a vortex flash suppressor.
