foam ear plugs

[Hoologan]

I wear them on my motorcycle all the time, as well as at the range, so I buy 200 pair boxes on the internet for less than $20/box.

When I rode for Lightning Express back in the day I wore them ALL THE TIME. Amazing the difference I felt towards the end of the day.

Also, if any of your new shooters are a little skittish, there's nothing wrong with doubing up (using plugs AND muffs). I recently shot with a new g/f who was flinching with just the muffs so we stepped back to the car and used both. Her experience and accuracy improved remarkably.

Definitely good advice. When I first started shooting I used just muffs. Then as I started shooting rifles more I went to just plugs.

Now I use plugs and electronic muffs turned up all the way, works great! These are the muffs I got:

Never been a fan of inner ear foam plugs, but I do wear then in addition to my outers for more solid hearing protection.

i found some foam plugs at my work (shop) so i thought i'd try them out, works great especially since they're free

Summer times, i prefer foam plugs. Ear muffs get way too hot out there.
In winter, vice versa.

Some people reuse 'em by washing it. Nothing wrong with it. Sure beats cigarette butt/cotton ear plugs.

I tried the 33DB earplugs at the range last night, indoors. Insufficient IMO. A good set of ears beats them out.

At indoor ranges or outdoor shooting loud guns (like a 50BMG) the sound can travel thru your head and into your ear more with plugs than with muffs. Best to use both plugs and muffswhen things are really loud.
