Howard Leight hearing protection is on par with a $30 red dot; better than nothing, but not really worth having for serious use.
If you're going to spend THOUSAND
S on a hunt, I would think that a few hundred for good hearing protection would be worth it, don't you?
I'm not a hunter either, but my hearing is worth more to me than any gun or hunt. As an instructor I need to be able to hear what students are doing. So, I invested in a set of SportEar electronic hearing protectors. They can actually amplify the sounds so I can hear better with them on than not. They cut off when a shot is taken. Truly remarkable product, but not cheap.
In 1920 I would understand not wearing hearing protection. With today's technology, I don't understand not wearing it at all.
