10gaugewannabee Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 i want to start to take the grand kids with me when we go shooting. i also want them to be able to use them when they are old enough to start shooting. i want to use over ear due to the childrens small sizes costs wise up to the £70 to £100 mark dont know what or which, so can anyone come out with suggestions please grandson one is 3 years old and number two is 5 years old so fairly small still but we want to get used to them. we are looking at someone else doing the shooting by the way at the moment they are using the peltors i used to use, but the none electronic ones are the elctronic ones safe for kids hearing or does the electronics offer better protection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon69 Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 There are 3M Peltors made especially for kids up to 7 yrs old. My 2 1/2 yr old daughter has a set in pink! They are about £15. http://www.safetysupplies.co.uk/trolleyed/products/3m-peltor-kid-ear-muffs-headband-kids-ear-defenders-childrens.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 As above, both of my Grandkids have had them for a number of years now. At 12 the eldest has now switched to the senior version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakers Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'd used something similar to the Peltors with my son before, but they are very tight on his head, and consequently he wasn't keen to wear them. I eventually bought him a pair the same as mine, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Howard-Leight-Honeywell-1013530-Electronic/dp/B001T7QJ9O/ref=sr_1_1?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1440962509&sr=1-1&keywords=Howard+Leight+by+Honeywell+1013530+Impact+Sport+Electronic+Folding+Earmuff He likes to pretend he's got super-sonic hearing when they're turned up, and they're much more comfortable on him. Here's him helping my mate out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
