My buddy says his ears were ringing for a day despite doubling up on ear protection. I am sensitive to really loud noise levels so I hate shooting next to someone with a brake. How was it for you |

Was yours an outdoor class or indoor? Johnny, It wasnt bad for me. I started with doubling up but pulled the foam plugs out after a bit because I could hardly hear the instructors. There were only 5 students. The Ruger Precision Rifles were 6.5creedmoors and all had brakes. With doubling up the shots were pretty docile, with out foamies more like a loud talk. I think because we were in a 100yd indoor range, alot of the noise had area to dispearse. Plus they have sound absorbing mats everywhere. I have shot a braked 450 bushmaster in a 25yd idnoor range before and it rattled all the observation windows.

How was it for you I was just running Sordins only. The guy next to me during a section of the class didn't have a suppressor but my ears weren't ringing or anything. |

I have crossed indoor carbine a vortex off my list, but will reconsider. If everyone used suppressors that is one thing, but a brake, especially on a SBR kills me if I am shooting next to people. I have hearing loss as it is, and I do not want to make things worse. |
