As far as the range goes, don't these guys wear hearing protection? Most ranges require ear muffs of some sort, they should get better stuff.

Everybody had muffs on, some had plugs under the muffs They didn't flinch when I shot the 7MM Rem Mag but the 300 with brake on it throws the sound to the side and back at directly at anybody standing to my left and right. I was in a cone where the sound was going past me but not at me. It's noticeable.

Range etiquette is to remove the brake but old age etiquette gives me some perks too and that's not to be pounded. They were given fair warning and nobody who experienced it once needed a reminder. I didn't bring it out often and I always asked permission to shoot it. Not my fault some are slow learners.
