JJ, have you ever tried those moulded ear plugs with the automatic dampening valve. I have talked to guys that have them and they swear by them. They're not cheap, but since they're custom moulded to your ear they're comfy.

Even if a guy put them in a few moments before a shot was anticipated, they would still let you hear clearly up until they closed at the "BLAST".

I'll have to remember the "Muzzle Brake"/"Wheel Chair Access" comparison. The range is one thing, but out in the field muzzle brakes are about as much fun as lead boots.
