[QUOTE="MagnumPW, post: 1459406, member: 102234"] Idk if it's just where I hunt, but my last few deer seasons up in my stand I've noticed that my rifles setup with muzzle brakes really help with felt recoil and muzzle jump. On one foggy morning I had a couple of Doe's and a medium buck doing their thing along the edge of the woods. I was going to take the bigger of the Doe's when a Bruiser showed up! My Timney trigger is set at 3.5#'s which I love, but when I changed positions with a gloved finger in the guard I touched off a round. A combination of the Buck fever and stupidity. But what I saw after was after the shot, they flinched but didn't run off till my 2nd shot made its mark. I think that by being in the woods and my muzzlebrake dispersing the report the Deers couldn't figure out which direction the sound came from? They were alert and looking around, but I honestly think it was the sound displacement that let me get the money shot. Plus with the brake I can shoot more at the range without the followup ice pack to the shoulder, and longer range shots (700-800yrds) are a lot easier to getting those 1.5" or less groups. I'm pro muzzlebrake voter. [/QUOTE]
