Electronic hearing protection
Who's running what? Trying to buy a pair before I deploy.

Re: Electronic hearing protection
Kim and I are both using Howard Leight Impact Sports with NoiseFighter cushions. I’ve been running the HLs for years and my only complaint with them was the cushion was too thin. The noisefighter cushions are awesome, I got in on them as a kickstarter.

Just bought a pair of Walker's Razor Patriot Electronic Earmuffs for a long range class. They worked great, ene with someone shooting a .50 Barrett

Re: Electronic hearing protection
HL impact sports is what I use.
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Re: Electronic hearing protection
Mine did too at the Coleman's, along with a Benelli Nova that looked like it spent a winter spreading salt in one night. Rusted like a mofo!ssracer wrote:mine got left out in the rain on the window sill and still work fine..lolNiceguy wrote:HL Impact Sports for me also. Nothing but good luck out of them.

Re: Electronic hearing protection
Something to be aware of is that some of the cheaper ones cut off all sound during a gun shot and then fade back in, this can get real annoying real fast. Ones like the HL filter out the gun shot, don't cut out like the cheaper ones.

Re: Electronic hearing protection
I use and approve of the HL muffs too.
Those things are everywhere. I had to put my online initials on mine to keep from getting someone elses sweat all over me.

Re: Electronic hearing protection
Some are amazed at how much more you can hear with them on if you crank the volume up. I've heard some hunters wear them not only for the protection but also because they can hear game moving through the brush with them on.ssracer wrote:Yup...Kim has teal ones. She loves them.

I’ve been to meets at Lincoln trail and cranked them up and been able to hear conversations across the range and the water in the creek..WLJ wrote:Some are amazed at how much more you can hear with them on if you crank the volume up.
