Thread: Earpro in Advertising

Does it bother anyone else that so much of the advertising we see for rifles, scopes, etc, depict hunters in a hunting situation, in position and clearly just about to fire a centrefire rifle, usually unsuppressed, with no hearing protection at all? It really bugs me and I think it's especially dangerous for newcomers to the sport who are likely to get the impression that people actually hunt like this and that it is safe to use a firearm in this manner. By the time they have found out it isn't, it will be too late and damage already done.
