Hearing Protection?

Yep, I wear either regular foamies when shooting or the safari land plugs with the percussive filters on woods walks or when shooting with friends. The let enough sound through for pretty normal conversation but block a good bit of the rifle "crack". I can even hear squirrels scampering through the wood or cutting nuts with them in.

I personally think that a squirrel scampering though leaves is one of the loudest known sounds in the woods.

Dusty, you are wrong. It is me when I’m scampering in the woods.

Lately my wife has been helping me get range ready,She is a nurse and there for a medical professional,I don't question her advice after 48 yrs.Like everyone else first plugs,then muffs. then a 12 gal kitchen size garbage bag over my head and taped tightly around my neck with Gorilla tape. The sound reuction is incredible, but after the first string of 5 shots ,I start to tire out and get a headache. She says I don't need a Dr. just keep shooting and then I can take a long nap.Talk to you later....Maybe.
