I have been noticing what I would consider an astonishing trend at the gun range lately. People are putting muzzle breaks on everything. Who needs a break on a .270? What's the attraction? (other than the obvious) They do nothing for accuracy, other than decrease it – more often than not, and they are loud to the point of being obnoxious. Is the recoil from a deer rifle really that painful or bothersome? Or is it just a fad?

If I didn't piss everyone off earlier. I'll try again. What do you think it would take to get all the "shooters" from this site together to have a day of harmless fun putting holes in paper.

I like the idea of a shooting match. But to make it fun, for me anyway, it would have to be like a 3d archery shoot rather than a bench rest style match. Maybe I'll post this idea instead of ruffling feathers like I did earlier.

What I understand from this is that they are balancing the availability of tags. It won't pay to be an archery hunter any more than it will pay to be a rifle or muzzleloader hunter. Classically it has been much easier to get tags as an archer. They just adjusting for this imbalance.

Not at Ben Avery. And I just bought a Winchester .270wsm with a break I am going to have cut off and the barrel re-crowned. And if I'd have seen you I wouldn't have hesitated to ask such a harmless question.

You got me with the name crack . Guess my name suits me well then, wonder why I chose it? Even if I were to post video you would find some way of saying it was bull@#$ . Next time I'm headed to the range I'll let you know . I don't have a break on any of my rifles and I wasn't saying that nobody should. I was just wondering why they seem to be increasingly popular. "I like it because when your shooting a buck it helps keep the buck in the scope after you pull the trigger. It help keeps the barrel from jumping up from the recoil". – I actually hadn't thought of that. This happens to me also with any of my rifles larger than my .22-250, thanks for the input!

My groups are plenty small already thank you. 2.5" and under at 400 yards and not off a bench but prone from my hunting pack. I just was wondering what other reasons could there possibly be from all that extra noise.

Stock ponds are a good idea but there are archery deer hunters under just about evey bush during Dec. and Jan. and they tend to think they own the place. Go puddle jumping but just be ready to get yelled at a few times. I've been looking on my scouting trips and haven't seen many yet. Ducks that is.
