I have a 16" gun with a home made brake. Works well, but it is freaking loud. Couldnt hear out of my left ear for about 3 days after shooting this:

I cannot hunt with a suppressor in my state (nor do i want the hassle of trying to own one). However i do want to be able to shoot the gun in hunting situations with out the use of ear plugs. I am thinking of making another "brake" but simply making it more like a cone to reflect the noise forward with out any baffle (yes, i know it wont be effective as a brake, but i just need to keep my hearing) Has anyone seen or tried such a thing?
