Being from Canada we are not allowed to have suppressors of any kind. Owning but not using is still against the law. This past winter while at the Shot Show I had the opportunity to shoot a few high power rifles with suppressors. A 300 Win Mag, 7.60NATO and 30.06. It was quite unbelievable. My fear of the rifle report and subsequent recoil vanished in about 5 shots. I could settle down and very clearly and precisely control the trigger squeeze, focus on good bench rest technique and call the shots. My shooting, i expect, would improve dramatically if I could use suppressors constantly. And I expect my trap and skeet scores would put me into the AA league.
My suggestion to anyone starting out shooting is to get a suppressor and learn from there on.
