When my trigger breaks and my brake barks, the deer\moose\elk is long past caring where the bullet came from... C.
HA, Stanley you beat me to it!!... C.
Best advice is to always to double up your hearing protection. I shoot 300 win mag with brake at the range most of the time. I made a lots of friend since I let them fired my rifle, 99 % percent of them who are hunter convinced that brake is really a good investment after fired my rifle. Only time when people who really hate me the most when sight in my scope at 25 yard, I only took one shoot though.
^this!
Maybe it's a level of sensitivity I guess. Cause honestly with my peltors I'm listening to people shoot the breeze and everytime rifles go off next to me I don't even notice it at all. Yes I do feel the concussion smack me in the face. But I can shoot through it without too much issue. I don't double up either. I take my peltors off after and I don't have any sensitivity after a whole day of guns going off. Everyone is different I guess. Even to the fully auto. I have seen police at the range many times. Ok I'm maybe 20' away or more. But still these are all AR with brakes and 5-6 of them banging away at same time. I don't notice the noise at all. Maybe I'm already deaf. This could be the answer.
Everyone is different, indeed. I can't shoot if the guy beside me has a certain kind of brake. It isn't the noise for me, it is the wind/concussion that pushes at me and moves paper around, I just sit and wait until it is over.
My Peltor Presidents weren't very good, so I got some (much better) Howard Leight L3, and double up.
