elgreco Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 DO NOT SHOOT WITHOUT PROTECTION! You will regret it in later life. I have a set of electronic over ear type, MSA Sordins but they are not to everyone's liking as some prefer earplugs as they don't catch the stock as much. Your best bet is to start off with some plugs like shooters aids and see if you can tollerate them in your ears. If not you may have to go for over ear type muffs Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picardy Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Cheers fellas I'll pick some standard plugs up and go from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asa Bear Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I use these Pro Fit plugs whilst I save up for some custom made attenuating plugs. They're really comfy but small talk can be difficult. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=160714584773&siteId=3&isClassified=false Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefulham Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I got some Napier Pr0 9 Protectors, about £22 new,I think they are great, they regularly come up on ebay for half that price. As has been said NEVER shoot without protection, I have a problem at the moment with my right ear, totally deaf in it, been like it since before Christmas and seeing a consultant on Wednesday. The problem is not through shooting, but being deaf in one ear temporary really makes you appreciate your hearing and how precious it is.

apache Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Who let you have a go at clays without making you wear ear protection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jega Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Who let you have a go at clays without making you wear ear protection? My thoughts exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Who let you have a go at clays without making you wear ear protection? Indeed! 50p for some ear bungs is bare minimum! Napier pro 9/10 are good and upwards pays your money and takes your choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skabo1 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I concur very much with the advice on the Napier Pro 9/10, they are actually Zem SensGard hearing protectors if you can import them as such you get them 1/2 price, I've tried them all except the CENS type and the pro 9/10 are as good as the best if you wear them correctly. LOOK HERE Isn't it strange how everything doubles in price as it hits these shores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Napier Pro 9's are excellent. I had a set, but now use Howard Leight electronic ones. I learned the hard way, by shooting from a young age, for many years without hearing protection. I now have Tinnutis, which is with me for the rest of my life. Get the best you can afford before the damage is done. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like their electronic ear defenders that can be bought (in this country) for less than half price providing they don't have the Napier logo on them.

picardy Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Thanks for all the replys some usefull information don't now if I should buy the Napier pro 9s or put the extra money and get some good quality electronic muffs but not sure if I'll keep catching the stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgreco Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 That's why I got the MSA Sordins as they were a lot slimmer than the peltor sportacs. I don't find they catch the stock Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSki Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Emtech will be at the shooting show in Newark. As I will be there exhibiting Iron Plate Action Shooting I will be paying a quick visit to their stand and have my ear impressions taken for a new set of internal ear protectors that still let you hear the spoken word. I have the Peltor Sportac but I will not wear them while shooting my new DT10 because I hate the thought of the things denting the top comb.

dan-250 Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I use to have sonic 2 push in ones, there ok for half hour but any longer and they get really uncomfortable, I then got a mould your own kit, these are great comfy and do a great job, I have now drilled them and put the sonic 2 valves into them, can now wear them all day long no problems. I've never experienced electronic ones, but to be fairly honest I hate the muffs as some feel heavy, bulky an also make your ears hot and sticky.

Thunderbird Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I use ex-army ear defenders, cheap as chips off eBay and do a grand job, plus keeping the old earoles warm in winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
