I just got a Magnus K-RR and it is not comfortable without ears. It's fine for a few rounds but there's a sharp crack for sure. I wouldn't shoot a match without ears on. TB published the numbers and shooters ear with the brake is the same as at the muzzle. That's for the guy behind the trigger. So if the noise is the same out of the muzzle with or without the baffles of the brake, then the noise at the animal whatever that distance is should also be the same meaning no different. If they can't hear the rifle without a brake on the end of the suppressor, they shouldn't hear it with a brake.
