Thread: Hearing protection

I just have a suppressor when I'm hunting, I sometimes carry a set of earplugs to put in if I get the chance but am bad at forgetting to use them.

For targets (rifle and shotgun) and duck shooting I use a set of electronic earmuffs. If I don't want/need to hear others then I'll often use standard earmuffs and even plugs also.

The electric ones are a pair of Howard Leights, at the cheaper end for these type of earmuffs. This means the direction of where sounds are coming from isn't great and there is a slightly annoying background hiss if it's at all windy. But they blockout the gunshots well, while letting me hear birds and other people.
