Not impressed with Air Brakes on Micro.

I just installed the Air Brakes system on my new Mirco 335, and granted my hearing is not the best in the world, but I cannot tell any difference in sound when shooting with it or not. Wife said the same thing.
The micro is amazingly quiet compared to my Vortex, and from the advertisements, I thought that putting this on my new rig would make it even better, but maybe save your money and skip this gizmo if you have a micro and are considering adding air brakes.
Just my ignorant 2 cents...

Very interesting. Boo said he shot the micro with the brakes at the A.T.A. show, and listened while others shot it, and said the noise reduction was significant. I guess perception truly is subjective.

I just couldn't tell a dramatic difference. But my hearing is not the best in world either. Hard to argue with Boo. I'll take his word over mine ANY day.

How about vibration with air breaks ?

I'm not sure his hearing is the best for this test

Are you implying between his ears is brake dust?

That's a good one Uncle Wheelie

Aunt Bethany: What's that sound? You hear it? It's a funny squeaky sound.

Uncle Lewis: You couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant.
