What does /k/ use for hearing protection for shooting? I'm relatively new to this, and I want to get decent plugs instead of one-use foam ones. Are pic related (etymotic HD safety) good enough?

>etymotic HD safety
Those are meant to preserve the relative frequency levels across the normal hearing range. I've used them for concerts, I doubt they are a good choice for recreational shooting.

Get electronics headphones, plugs a shit
40$ for impact sports, work fine
>>32554639
the rubber 3m ones from home depot
foam ones are no good in the cold
electronic over plugs.

> plugs a shit
Hickok45 uses plugs
>>32554639
hearing protection is for pussies. why do you need it.
>>32555073
Exactly. I've got basic 3m foam ones, they are unusable in the cold.
>>32555224
I'm in the military, I have to. So I thought, if I have to use earplugs, why not get good ones?
>>32555055
What would you recommend then?
>>32555063
Not an option, I spend weeks at a time away from electricity, and besides, I need simple one that would still work in adverse conditions.
>>32555224
To protect pussy obviously.

> Not an option
Are you a retard or something?
Impact sport will become ordinary protection headphones without batteries.
Also, what kind of army don't supply it's soldiers?

Hickok doesn't need to worry about losing his hearing in forty years' time.
>>32554639
I have to use foam plugs because my rightmost ear canal is larger than my left, and reusable plugs are always too small to fit right.
>>32555254
Well, true.
What does John uses then?
>>32555249
I can't use them because I'm too new in the army. Weird, I know. That's just how it is.
>>32555278
Ask your comrades for spare pair.
For those of us shooting on horseback, there IS a such thing as ear pro for horses. At least stuff some cotton wadding in there so your horsebro won't go deaf.
There is also ear protection for dogs.

Comrades are as new as I am, basic training. I just need silicone plugs, something more reusable and cold resistant than what I got from the army.
>>32555224
Yeah back in the day I never used EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
