On my hunt this last May I took my rifle that has a removable brake on it. The first day my PH rolled his eyes when I walked over to his truck and he saw it on the barrel. Later that day he asked me why I had it on and I just said "to see what you would say" I then took it off and left it off. I had actually forgotten to remove it after checking the zero of the rifle and didn't notice it until I took it out of the safe in my room that morning. Even on my shot on my black wildebeest off of my PH's shoulder I told him that I was going to tell him when I was going to take the shot and then count to 3 just so he could be prepared for the muzzle blast.
My opinion is that 99% of hunters out there do not need a brake on their rifle when they are hunting, now when you are shooting off of a bench that is a different story and I don't mind people having them while shooting. But then every one there should be wearing ear protection anyway.
