Thread: Hunting without a suppressor.......... ear plugs or cop the lot?

If your using them purely for hunting just grab a set of sonic defendors will set you back about $30. That way even if you hardly ever use them its no great loss...
I use them for ducks etc but for that one off shot its too much hassle.

Get a can for your bush rig, they weigh like 200g and are pretty reasonably priced.

You only get one set, so I for one want to look after them

I have worn muffs for 30+ years making Joinery.

When I was shooting Goats or firing multiple shots in the field I would always put plugs in.

Now when hunting with a braked rifle or multiple shots with a suppressed or non-suppressed rifle I use electronic muffs.

At the range or shooting steel/rocks etc I always use plugs & muffs.

Hunting in the bush etc when likely to fire a single shot with an un-braked or un-suppressed rifle I don't bother unless I have time

I generally have plugs with me all the time hunting.

We get our hearing tested every year, I have some loss but not gun related apparently, wrong frequency they tell me every time....

Look after your hearing it is precious, but it diminishes with age
