Muzzle brakes are a waste of time in a hunting situation anyway kick up dirt dust and increase decibel levels for no good reason...most of the time you have on thick hunting clothes anyway....at the range thugh in warm weather it will allow you to wear a T shirt and do a lot of shooting not just 3 rounds and that' s good enough. EKM if someone had been behind me and lit off one I believe I would have been hurting that individual real bad.[:@]
