Duckshooting only use the muff if shes with meIt takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

Got a suppressor on the .270 now, but years of duckshooting without plugs or muffs has left me with tinnitus. That started with a high pitched whine like a mozzie, and I spent many nights slapping myself silly(er) until I realised the whine never went away. After the missus left the whining stopped-nah just joking, shes still with me and still whining.
Guys, use hearing protection - particularly you duckshooters. Those grunty 3" shells make a lot of noise.mikee likes this.Everyone is entitled to their own stupid opinion

Look after your ears even when shooting a .22 Being half deaf with a shithouse full of mozzies buzzing away is not remotely funny. After years as a PH with recoil retards and their damn muzzle brakes leads to too many "Sorry, beg your pardon, didn't catch that."
