What range did you go to, and was it full to the hilt with the one weeked a year hero's :chuckle:
I took my nephew to kenmore last weekend, we got there at opening, had the first round go with only 4 shooters, next round was fullup, had him wait 10 minutes after the shooting began for the guys around him to blast there shots off then he was fine.

So I've never done any research on muzzle breaks. Do they reduce recoil? If so were they made for women and children? People with frail builds? Office workers? Won't a "sissy" pad do the same thing?

3nails, the recoil pad isn't always enough. If you shoot a light rifle with a large case and a long barrel, it isn't necessarily the backward push anymore, but the 'jump'/muzzleflip. They are also good for protecting optics. The one I use has a 57% recoil reduction.
Thanks.
I can watch the target in the scope and never lose sight of it. Light rifle, hot hand loads, etc. The brake helps. I probably would not have added one, but there was already one there when I bought the rifle. I did change it out for a nicer one with cleaner gunsmith work.

I dont know what it is about that gun but its twice my .338 win mag bark which I just dont understand, its got to be the short bull barrel.

The thing that amazed me was the guys shooting the AR's and the 10/22's just raining emptys on the folks next to them. Loading mags underneath giant signs that say "Load one round at a time" then just banging away slinging brass all over the guy sitting next to them.

Muzzle blast, hot brass down your shirt....it just doesn't get any better :chuckle: a day at the range....actually sounds real good right now
It was a great day at the range. I figure the anti-muzzle blast crowd would have appreciated a little blast. It was muggy under that cover. A little breeze seemed to help.
I hate that rule they have there. Keeps me from taking my 10/22 there. Usually the rangemaster is very controlling...that was not the case yesterday and there was even 2 rangemasters working yesterday.The thing that amazed me was the guys shooting the AR's and the 10/22's just raining emptys on the folks next to them.

I'm not doubting or questioning you, but what's the point of all the big signs saying "Load One Round at a Time"?? I've even seen the usual rangemaster guy reprimand a guy for shooting more than one at a time in the mag.
I've been waiting for someone to complain about the brake I guess. I was also sitting in the last bench next to the wall for those that are familiar with the layout of that place. I guess sitting with a very solid wall a foot and a half to the right of the brake didn't help either. I usually sit next to someone else shooting a brake'd rifle if there is anyone so as to "blend in" a little but with the crowd yesterday, maybe I shoulda stayed home.

I dont get why people just dont drive out in the woods and find a good backstop to shoot privately.. Thats what I do most of the time.
I don't go out in the woods to shoot this time of year out of respect for the folks that might probably be out there hunting. I've shot enough this year that I probably didn't "need" to go to the range, but had some free time and never really mind going shooting....anyway, thats my story.

For centerfire rifles they are usually real nazi's about the one round at a time thing but it states in their rules that 22 gets an exemption and can load 5 (either it got changed or I remembered it wrong) but they are still supposed to keep the rate of fire down. I don't shoot there very often as I find their benches horrifically uncomfortable (too short for me) and get tired of people pelting me with brass or shooting right next to me with a brake.

At the Evergreen range we shoot pistol in the same area as rifle...or did when I was going there so the whole rapid fire thing thats a new one to me :dunno:.....3 magazines 10 rounds each bang bang bang bang bang bang.......stopped and reloaded after blasting through all 3 or at one time I would have the 357 so go through 6 in it and a magazine in the 10/22....yeah I had some fun days at the range...no one running down range when hot no one really complaining about brakes etc.....was always a pretty decent crowd down there and the rangemaster was a good guy :dunno:
was where i learned a pushup bra and low cut shirt is a painful idea and not good rangewear....hot brass dance for sure :chuckle:

My father in law belongs to a range down near battle ground. At the end of each table the have a 4x8 sheet of plywood hanging with shag carpet on either side. Its all puke green and blue if i remember correctly. I think it absorbs a TON of noise and eliminates the hassle of being next to some one with a muzzle brake. I surprised to hear the Kenmore doesn't have such an easy inexpensive fix. :dunno:No room at kenmore between benches, heck they would squeeze a few more in there if they though they could...
I think i need a 10/22 with a muzzle brake and a sissy pad on it... 8)
Post by: thinkingman on October 03, 2011, 03:59:03 PM
I have break on my 338 RUM that is loud but when the momment of truth comes you or anybody next to you will never noticeI have a good friend with a Weatherby 30-378 with a brake.
We elk hunted Packwood a few years ago and I mentioned I hoped to not be anywhere close to him if he touched one off.
Two years ago he got an elk and a mule deer...two shots=30% hearing loss.
Permanently.
And that was in open country.
Braked rifles under the cover of a range are brutal.
If I'm there with my 7yr old son, we leave until the boomers stop.
Post by: timberghost72 on October 03, 2011, 06:32:11 PM
I don't mind the muzzle blasts to bad on the larger rifles or braked rifles too much. I just time my shots between them. What I find more annoying is the 18 to 20 something year old kids. When I was there last Thursday there were a group of them making a ton of racket, yelling crap and just acting like idiots. That was much more distracting than big rifles. I usually go down there after work at around 4:00 and there are never more than 5 people. I won't ever go there on the weekends. I'll go to the one on Ebey Island on the weekends.
Post by: Biggerhammer on October 03, 2011, 07:37:12 PM
I waited till the guy next to me shot before I shot. He was joking around with me about it. Him and his .243
Anyway...I've been shooting that thing at the range for 3 years or so now with no complaints. Maybe I was on borrowed time.

You wont have to worry about any complaining untill next hunting season, right now your just dealing with the sissys and their safe queens that show up with their factory ammo and cal a 8" group @ 100 yards , good to go.
You want some entertainment! Grab some popcorn and a chair, spend a couple hours watching most of the clowns that show up to zero their rifles 5 days or so before the deer opener at the # No 2 Canyon Gun Club in Wenatchee. I have seen it all, scope cuts, 7mm Magnum fired through a .300 Win Mag, rifles dropped of benches. IT GREAT! the rest of the year I pretty much have the range to myself during the week days.

Informal ranges are always great, you get to give the guys shooting brakes a taste of their own medicine and scoot back about 5 feet behind the firing line before you start shooting. :chuckle:
The entire premise of this thread is so condescending it's pathetic. Brakes are obnoxious to all except the one shooting them, the smack talking about ammo preference or safe queens is dumb too. If it makes some people feel superior that they load their own ammo then hooray for them, some of us have other hobbies besides shooting a gun that is too big for us (requiring a brake :) ) and trying to squeak out that last thousandth of an inch of group size. :bash: :bash: :bash:

Maybe I should go pull the motor in my truck and stuff a more efficient 4 cylinder in there. Wouldn't want the size of the current motor to be considered "Compensating" :bash:
It's not the .500 Jeffrey or the compensating or anything like that that bugs me...it's the fact that some feel inclined to tell everyone and their brother about how cool they are and how *censored* all their stuff is. Why criticize someone for using factory ammo? Childish and puny if you ask me. Leave tje criticizing others at the door and you'll be fine here.
:twocents:
Some people shoot factory ammo , some don't.
Some people eat at McDonalds, some of us wouldn't feed that crap to our bird dogs.
I have Zero tolerance for those that have no tolerance.

Most of those that don't shoot factory ammo don't call those that do "sissy" or criticize them for their "safe queen".

this is great :chuckle:
My dad could kick all your dad's butts.
this is better :chuckle: :chuckle:
and the reality is one good kick to any of you alls nuts and down you go :dunno: :dunno: just keeping it in perspective
oh and I do eat mc donalds its absolutely horrible for me loaded with empty calories and sometimes it tastes good I've shot factory ammo and handloads and if I ever shoot anything that kicks its better have a brake I will simply wear many layers of ear protection...and as mentioned before muzzleblast is awesome for floofing hair .... ;)

I have break on my 338 RUM that is loud but when the momment of truth comes you or anybody next to you will never notice
I have a good friend with a Weatherby 30-378 with a brake.
We elk hunted Packwood a few years ago and I mentioned I hoped to not be anywhere close to him if he touched one off.
Two years ago he got an elk and a mule deer...two shots=30% hearing loss.
Permanently.
And that was in open country.
Braked rifles under the cover of a range are brutal.
If I'm there with my 7yr old son, we leave until the boomers stop.
I have shot probably five boxes of shells thru my 338 RUM open coutry and under roofs target shooting i am required thru my job to have a hearing test every year and there has been no change in five years you buddy might have something else going on
