Suppressor with a compensator for hunting?

[JimFromTN]

I have a JK 155 rcx 30. I can get a compensator end cap for it. I have been thinking about getting one to hunt with but not for use as a compensator as much as a way to redirect the sound off to the side rather than forward. The idea is that it redirects some of the sound away from the game. Does that make sense?

If you are running a can, the game won't know where the shot came from. I have had game just stand there (and other animals WITH the game I shot), just stand around looking at why their buddy suddenly took a nap. The bullet impacting the animal is louder to them than the shot. And sometimes to the spotter as well. I ALMOST hunt exclusively with cans.

No use adding DBs to the shooter's ear adding a compensator to the end of a can.

I am not running subsonic if that makes a difference.

It does not. I only run subs in my .22LR for squirrels.
Everything is high velocity hunting loads from 2850 to 3400+. From 5.56NATO to 300PRC. From 50gr to 230gr bullets.

I use sk plus ammo with a sparrow suppressor for squirrel ans a snap of the fingers is louder than the shot
