    Jeez Mikee you south islanders are slow. I have eight fingers and two thumbs and I only use one finger to pull the trigger so it leaves shitloads of fingers for ear blocking.
    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

    Having three arms would be a bonus. A beer in one, a burger in the other and a free one to have a well earned scratch. Ecstasy!

    Well your fingers must be bloody long if you can still point you rifle in a safe direction with your fingers in your ears and still pyll the trigger, We shall all look forward to the practical demonstration of the correct technique

    Disposable plugs while hunting.
    Plugs and earmuffs when at the range. Leave the plugs in allows you still to hear well enough to talk but still provide protection for background gunfire.

    Try these guys as well. Better than the cheap plugs, good enough to not need the muffs as well.
