NoBodyImportant Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 So my cousin stops by the farm to do some shooting last weekend. He has these new fangled electronic hearing protection. I try them and they are amazing. The gun shots are lowered to a very soft thump. But I can hear conversation perfectly. I can hear birds chirping, and the springs in the guns working. The bullet hitting the mud bank. He was like they are pretty cheap. He had the walkers so I got a set from Amazon for $40. But then I saw the 3m brand and got a set of the sport Tactical 100s. They were even better. So then I went and got a set of the 500s. I am a addicted now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southeastpete Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 They are good. I found the butt kept hitting the left one and pushing the up slightly when I shouldered though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 I use the Howard leight ones. MSA sirdin are very good but expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 I have the Howard Leights but also find the butt stock on the shotgun can bump them up now and then which disrupts your sequence when shooting. Much better are the CFG digital in ear defenders, although much more expensive. Ghe over ear ones are handy for keeping your ears warm on a cold windy day mind 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen them around, but have just never tried them. Last weekend was my first go and I loved them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 They look good but I'm trying to move away from over ear because they interfere with my mount sometimes, will be going to in ears when I get back to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 I lost two pairs of MSA Sordin, so now I use cheap sets - at £23 incl P&P it doesn’t ruin your day if they end up submerged in the marsh or lost in cover. 3 hours ago, Farmboy91 said: They look good but I'm trying to move away from over ear because they interfere with my mount sometimes, will be going to in ears when I get back to it.

Every gun I ever had used to hit over ear muffs until I got the H&H and had it fitted at their shooting school, then, hey presto! the muffs didn’t hit the stock when the gun fits properly because I shoot it with my head more erect.

That could be the problem, I get the feeling my solution is going to be a bit cheaper though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Iv'e got the Peltor SportTac and there the best iv'e ever used. But can be a bit clammy in the hot weather The only time i hit my stock with them sometimes is when i'm dry mounting. I would not go back to ear plugs.

London Best Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Oddly enough, I still use in ear protectors for game shooting. I am very wary of the electronic muffs in the rain, so only tend to wear them on the rare occasions I shoot clays, and I will not stand in the rain shooting clays.

This is very often a the case when you hear people say I can’t use muffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
