 I have determined I'm not going to hunt with a muzzle brake because I won't wear hearing protection when I hunt. And you can say, well, you should. Well, I don't know. Maybe you should. I don't know. But I just went a different way. I'm going to not wear hearing protection, but I'm also not going to use a muzzle brake, which is so darn loud. But also, the reality is I don't feel recoil when I hunt. Do you? Just wondering.
