    I went in to Bay Audiology today to inquire and they can get them done for $195.00
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I use Howard Leight electronic muffs with plugs.
    I like the lower profile when shooting rifles.
    Using Open class pistols under cover then its grade 5 muffs and plugs.

    The plugs stay in all the time but the muffs come off when not shooting.

    That's what I was using when spotting for alonzo whilst lying beside the .50bmg muzzle brake, they're great.

    If you don't need electronic then just get a pair of grade 5 Peltors.

    They are good, I have a set and they are what I judge everything against. The cord so you can plug you phone into them

    Have the grade 5 budget ones...virtually never wear them...use earplugs mostly but dealing with staff/customers all day as well as trying to make some noise myself they are in and out like Aaron Smith in a airport toilet....I struggle to hear voices with backround noise like two stereos blaring ,someone grinding, someone else hammering and someone else trying to talk to me from across the workshop so plugs are out more often than in which wont be helping.

    As a handy benefit they will hopefully also be good at the range and hunting also as I am paying for them not work.

    I have 3m peltor grade 5 and they are really comfortable. If you want extra protection use plugs as well. Got the muffs of trademe for a good price new, worth a look

    Sent from my workbench
    If i could have a full time job shooting pests i'm up for over time.
