A typical emotive article from GCA. As a lot are aware a large proportion of the Membership money is returned to the States and then on to Branches so they can function and to continually improve facilities and services. It would be very sad if SSAA didn't purchase more land to build ranges on as not too many others are in a place to do this. The magazine costs a bit too produce as the NRAA would know. I recently visited a new property that SSAA South Australia has leased and have started building into a 2k Range plus Pistol, Shotgun and Shorter Range setup. This is in the Adelaide hills area.

I was at a SSAA range about a month ago. A bloke got the bench next to me and start to set up. I didn't take any notice of what he was shooting till he fired his first shot. I was taking aim when he fired. I got a face full of dust and dirt off the bench, "luckily i was wearing safety glasses" and the blast and pressure wave still have my ears ringing since then. I had a go at him about it, and to his credit he didn't shoot that gun whilst he was there.

I'm not too sure what the condition of your Range benches are but I've shot and shot along side braked rifles for years and never had that problem. Personally I think this "Muzzle Brake " problem is blown out of all perspective and to be honest a lot is just hearsay.

A guy over here started his F Open career with a Remmy 700 chambered in a 300 Dakota and he was a curse to be down beside. And he didn't have a brake. Tell ya what it took him a couple of seasons to get over the flinch he developed from using it ! Just saying ...

One of the problems is that people spend up big on their rifles etc but then use cheaparse ear protection or foam plugs. I use a variety of Electronic muffs and also have moulded ear plugs that I sometimes wear when pistol shooting. We have to remember that all rifles etc are noisy and it is part and parcel of visiting a Range.

Scott let me demonstrate to you that your fears are unfounded, bearing in mind that we are talking about typical PRS rifle calibers NOT magnums. If you aren't pleasantly surprised I'll buy you a carton of your favourite.

Free whiskey.
Nah just kidding. I never said I didn't like being behind them, just not beside them.
