In 40 years of hunting and 18 years of law enforcement I have experienced auditory exclusion every time I have fired "for real."

Save once, well twice. I shot two does one morning with my ported GG. It literally rocked my world and my ears rang for a couple weeks. I've only fired it on the range since then...

I need to either trim those ports off, get a 26-in. Cowboy barrel on it or just sell it.

Though physiological changes seem to dampen sound of gunfire truth is the damage is ongoing. Really need some of those in ear electronic plugs for the field.

P.S. I never experienced post hunting ringing when I fired shots at critters with our .260 Compact.
