Electronic earmuffs group buy - who's interested?

As seen on the 'other forum' - an electronic earmuffs group buy was organised and I missed the out being the sixth person to show interest. $

These are the earmuffs in question - Howard Leight | Impact Sport

In terms of price -they are $49.99US and postage is $21US + $4 for each extra pair. However, can only limit the order to 5 pairs to keep the total order under $400 NZD to avoid customs.

Aaron B off the 'other forum' placed an order last night for 5 pairs and got stung $362.78 - so that's just over $70 a pair.

Any interest - thinking they'd be the business for the range / duck shooting in the mai mai.

Not sure if I should have started the thread here or in Buy/Sell....feel free to move it?

I have 2 pairs of these right now and the Peltor "tac-6" ones as well


Peltors fit nicer and I got the neckband rather than headband ones so you can wear a hat or whatever more comfortably with them, the electronics in the Howard Leights work better and they only have 1 on/off switch and they have an aux input so you can listen to some nice relaxing music while murdering helpless animals

Sounds good then gimp... how many pairs you want? :D

Even if one person is keen then I will put an order in as I'll be able to save $15-20 NZD. Otherwise if I order a single pair it'll cost me around $90 rather than $75 ish.

None for me thanks, if you'd done it a few months ago I'd have got some

Can only order 5 pairs to keep it under $400 NZD to avoid customs.

Two pairs already spoken for - three pairs left.

I'll have a pair please

Right...

Two pairs left - will wait a few days and then place the order.

i'll grab a pair Jono

Right - one pair left....

Will likely make order within next few days - will PM those interested tomorrow.

Gimmie gimmie pls - price is right even if they are average :P

Pretty good deal. The same muffs from Brownells are $49.99 dealer price or $59.99 regular price. + postage which is bound to be about $30.

I mentioned this group buy on the other forum to gauge interest - I got another 5 people keen - but my loyalties are now with this forum.

Will update thread and PM those involved later this morning once I make the order.

Order placed and those involved have been PM'd.

A few of the staff here at school are keen duck shooters and after showing them mine - they are keen on getting a few pairs in and want me to organise the order seeing as I've dealt with them before.

Bumping the thread to gauge interest for another group - probably only space for two or three pairs maybe.....? Rich007 can be put down as a maybe already - he seemed keen in the Bulk Buys thread / he can confirm it later on.

For those attending the LR shoot on Saturday in Ohakune - I will have mine there in person for you to check out.

write me in sir :thumbs:

I,m keen if theres any spots left.

im keen see you on sat

Put me down for one:thumbsup:

We have enough - but I'm still waiting to hear back from my brother if he wants a pair.

Right.

The five are.

Order placed.

Estimated delivery time March 18th - 26th.

IF your doing another shipment ill be keen
Thanks

I have put my electronic earmuffs up in the buy sell section for sale if anyone is interested.

Just for info... I missed the group buy on the other forum and just got a pair from Amazon. Cost was about $NZ85 landed (can't remember exactly how much). They are *FANTASTIC* for bird hunting - I've worn mine over in the Wairarapa. They are also very good for clay target shooting. They are good for pistol shooting if you don't have a .44 going off next to you (I did - I went along to a "welcome to the range" type day, and someone was using one) and are ok for rifle shooting if you are out in the wilds. At a range with a roof with centrefires going off around you? Stick plugs in first. Don't get me wrong - I like mine, but they have definite limitations. Work within the limitations and you'll be sweet.

I found same thing BTMO, indoors they just dont seem to work at all - I'm yet to try outside

The main reason I bought them :)

i agree they're a bit cumbersome around centrefires. i kept wanting to lift my right earmuff as it was stopping my face getting down onto the comb. I used to use just plain old yellow earplugs around the SFMG's in the infantry (ie freakin loud). might look into a better fitting set of those if i can find some. Thats not to say the electronic earmuffs dont work, they did quite well with the pickups turned up just slightly.
