I made a big mistake on sunday, i took the pup out to get him used to firearms. I fired the 22 about 20 times moved up to the 223 and fired around 10 shots which didnt bother the pup, he was happy as so i let off 4 shots with the 308 and called it a successful day. All rifles are suppressed and i didnt wear hearing protection as i expect the dog to be okay with it. Well that may be the biggest mistake of my life so far! Later that day my left ear started ringing and is still ringing and muffled today so my doctor said if its not any better by the end of the week im off to see the ear clinic to find out how much damage i really have done.
Im going to buy another set of baffles for my dpt can so i can make it as good as possible for the dog and im going to keep my fingers crossed that my ear is not permanently damaged at 22 years of age.
DONT BE AN IDIOT, WEAR HEARING PROTECTION IF POSSIBLE.
