Hearing Protection

[palmetto99]

My brother gave me a pair Walker's Power Muffs a couple of years ago. Until then, I had never used electronic ear protection. While the Walker's have some issues (the batteries and electronics are accessed through the inside of the ear cups and they get pretty damp during a hot sweaty match), I like using them while shooting with others and pistol matches. I can hear all commands and it makes it easy to help with score keeping at matches. I'm looking for a new set of electronic muffs with access to the electronics and batteries from the outside of the ear cups. I like the Dillon HP1.

I find myself doubling up as the years go by. (Muffs and plugs)

I just bought 2 dozen of the Howard Lieghts (pardon any errors), and they work as good as any of the other top brands.

I purchased Electronic Muffs (Peltor)from Cabelas' after a friend gave me a gift certificate. They have black and hunter orange side covers. If I had any idea they were that outstanding, I'd have bucked-up and got them years ago. Mine were around $110 on sale at the time for about $80 and THEY ARE EVERY PENNY WORTH IT!!!!! I went to the range and forgot them and my day was literally ruined without the E-muffs. My shooting pard and I stay out there for hours and shoot and shoot the breeze. I get tired of taking the durned foamies out of my ears to talk. JMO

Muff It and Plug It

At the practice range, when there are other shooters on both sides of me I use good quality silicon plugs and good quality non-electronic muffs. I see a lot of BE shooters with expensive electronic muffs who double up. This combination also works well during 2700 matches when I need to hear the RSO commands. If I can't hear the RSO, I ask that he up his volume.
