So I'm reading that gun reports are about 140-160 decibels. I've also seen that ear muffs go up to like 30. Same with ear plugs. Since ear damage occurs with anything over 90 db, and it's accumulative, doesn't that mean we're all going to end up with hearing loss?

I found this too. Apparently there is a difference between sustained loud noise and a quick shot.

Even with muffs, at an indoor range my ears start to hurt, so I double-up with plugs and muffs.

Yes, you CAN fit a case of shotgun shells into a .50cal ammo can.
I think i found an optimal solution for ammo can labeling.
I made this target for the NRA's Marksman pistol test. I think it's a lot better than the paper plate they suggest.Comment
