Pablo Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I bought these bad boys:http://www.amazon.com/Caldwell-MAX-Profile-Electronic-Muffs/dp/B001B8ONZI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_topI tested them first in the house slapping two shoes together as hard as I could. (Try it - find the loudest pair!! Not now - people are still sleeping ) Then I went in the shop and made some real noise. I must say - I'm pressed. Plus with the volume up, I can hear my dog fert in the other room. I will add to this thread as I add real use. Since the NRR is only rated at 23, I plan on using plugs as well for my low cost hearing protection plan when I'm indoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashbox Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I find that I absolutely MUST use both ear muffs and plugs for ear protection at the range (26 NRR + 33 NRR). Even though the combination only adds about 3 to 6 decibels of effective extra protection it is very well worth it.As for the ear plugs, I bought two boxes of Howard Leight MAX-1 ear plugs which are very inexpensive and highly effective.

wwillson Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Crashbox,I'm with you - I ALWAYS use ear plugs and good muffs when at an indoor range. There's nothing like the noise in those places. I don't need any more hearing loss.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
