Yep, I don´t know if it´s some kind of Doppler effect that the noise doesn´t go back at You, but spreads in all other directions, but, yes, I´ve noticed the same fenomenon. (another fellow at the range was testshooting a .44 Magnum, sh*t, those beasts hurt in many ways)

BTW, just the other day I saw a notice that the "stadsskytt" (city shooter?) was going to reduce the number of crows in my area. They have multiplied a bit too heartily. The most spectacular job I heard about here in Jönköping was a young moose who had strayed all the way into the local hockey arena (not kidding) and had to be shot. I guess tranquilizers had been regarded, but the moose was killed in the end.

Groth, do You know if the stadsskytt is authorized to use silencer, since he´s shooting inside urban areas? I just asume You´re swedish, since You mentioned swedish laws.
