If you don't need a muzzle brake to shoot driven boar ( that's real manly man's men stuff ) then you definitely don't need one to shoot McQueens.
The big advantage of shooting the McQueen with a muzzle brake is it allows you to see the hit on the target so you can make adjustments if necessary on the following shot.
knowing Stuies performance at McQueens, I'm going with his answer
PS I use a mod for the same reason as some use a brake, but heat shimmer can be an issue if the marker is taking his time, as to those that complain about brakes...seriously grow a set and use the correct ear and eye protection! the only place I would agree that a brake is a real problem is inside a covered shooting point, other than that its all just whining for the sake of whining.
"ears and eyes" shooting is a loud and debris ridden sport, if you have never had hot brass bounce down the back of your collar or powder residue hit you in the face then you haven't immersed yourself fully into the sport and don't even think about blackpowder
I can quite see the point of a brake on rapid fire sequences - no different from a ported barrel on rapid fire pistol events. I really can't see the need when regular shooting on a mixed range with other individual shooter doing their own thing on the next firing point.
Shooting with a brake certainly does effect the person in the next lane, if that person is part of the same club, shooting the same cof fine, it's all part of the fun, if on the other hand, a guy has taken a day off work, booked a lane to do some serious ammunition testing etc, is it right that his day should be effected.
Inappropriate shooting with a brake could well be likened to the prat driving round the town in a blinged up car, windows open and "music" on full blast.
Anti-social - yes. If you want to use a brake buy two firing points.
I've been under a covered firing point on century with the brakes being used by our members and we made sure muzzles were out of the shed a bit..I find it seems noisier shooting in Melville.probably due to the amount of shots fired.some details are 60 Shots x 10 shooters.that's a lot of banging but I don't whinge about it.that's what paracetamol's can sort out.

Er?????
why? interval of 10-20 seconds between exposures plenty of time to make a scope adjustment if required.

As per usual policy will be dictated by a minority of numpties that use muzzle brakes in an inconsiderate manner, and a handful of whiners who will find any excuse to go crying to big brother. C'est la vie
I think you missed my point.
I was referring to the shooter who has a rifle with NEITHER. He wants to reduce recoil / muzzle flip. He has a choice of brake or suppressor. No real difference in cost.
If his shooting is mostly at the range then either will do the same job but one will be more sociable !

ah yes G and C class. I favour the fire the rifle in the general direction of the DP14 and hope for the best method. (generally with little success)

there's a lot of price difference between a brake and a mod that can take 10 shot strings for any length of time , and that's without the mirage off of a hot mod making shot placement an issue
10 to 20 seconds between each exposures....!
We do about 5 seconds.when I am down the butt doing the target.up to the window.count to 3 take target down then strait back up and so on for the 10 shots.like I said.fast and furious .bang them down there.20 seconds isn't exactly snapshooting
) then you definitely don't need one to shoot McQueens.
and don't even think about blackpowder
