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

There a places like Woodhill that don't allow suppressors & think a lot of forestry blocks will soon follow suit.
Personally I only use ear protection for sighting in or checking zero & target shooting .
The problems I've seen with over barrel suppressors makes me wonder why anyone would bother.Fire 3 shots with a suppressor & the unscrew it & see if you can hold onto the barrel. Shot #4 is likely to go wide due to heat ,8 - 10" is common.
In a normal hunting situation you'll fire 1 or 2 shots. You'll probably be subjected to more D/B's all day in a lot of jobs & the night club is a good place to screw up your hearing.
Turn the sounds down at work might be a good place to start.
