Thread: Hunting without a suppressor.......... ear plugs or cop the lot?

I've worn ear plugs /ear muffs most of my work life ,30 plus years ( Refinery construction /maintenance ), but never when duck shooting or general hunting , mostly with a 243.
Now have Cicadas buzzing permanently ( Tinnitus) and its not pleasant .
I would strongly recommend fitting a suppressor and protecting your hearing at all costs.
Hearing loss as you get older makes it very hard to gain employment as well .
