Try being in a pit blind with anyone shorter than a 26. I had to deal with a client and his ported 24 one day. Only reason I didn't say anything. Ears rang for three damn weeks.
Yeah. Been there too. I hardly hunt anything other than turkeys with it anymore for that very reason.

Try having a gun with a ported barrel. I'm not real sure that GREENHEAD has forgiven me yet for that one.
Of course, torch thought it was funny.

Short barrels and muzzle breaks: 2 things I will not suffer.

Come sit by me in a blind when that 24" BPS 10ga goes off
