Someone posted they don't use hearing protection because they don't have a brake on their gun. That fasinates me. Guns are loud whether they have a brake or not. While shooting at deer many years ago, I heard the report of the rifle and felt the full recoil from the 7-.300 WEatherby. After that I bought the Action Ears.
I use them ALL the time while I am hunting. They block the sound of Gunfire and turn back on instantly. If I am going to shoot the gongs at the range, I use them to hear the clang. That's how fast they turn on. They are so sensitive I can hear a buzzard glide by if it is not more than 100 feet or so above.
