ear protection

[HunterAU]

i am looking at purchasing some ear protection and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Walker's Game Ear?

if not and you have had another brand please feel free to share your experience.

Tried a pair a few years ago and whilst it lived up to the amplification claims it left a lot to be desired in the blocking out of gunshot noise. I'd probably go an expensive set of Beretta earmuffs if I was working at a range environment and needed to hear others speak

Use of good quality hearing protection cannot be emphasized enough.

My ears ring 24 hours a day, and I use moulded ear plugs and muffs.

Unfortunately the use of silencers is largely frowned on in the shooting world, millions of ears can be saved by allowing this.

Since I dont hear very well anymore, I use electronic muffs to both mange the blast as well as to pick up sounds. Very useful in a hunting situation.

Only problem is in a hot climate, the muffs get uncomfortable rather quickly, as one normally sweats a lot on the head. During cooler weather they are fine.

Some form of hearing protection is a must, and the Walker Ear does offer that, but I would suggest trying some good quality electronic muffs such a Peltor or Deben.

what about the pro ear range?

anyone have any feedback on the Sordin Ear Protection range. the Supreme Pro X to be specific?

Hunter AU, I have used Sordin s for many years. Top class stuff. Been in my hunting bag for more than 5 years, and with all the dust and banging about, no problem. Batteries last a long long time and quality of sound is very good.

The new Sordin s should be even better.

I'm sure you've heard that more than once as they run the other way!

I use the Peltor muffs (who also make the Beretta's and some others) at home/range and while on stand.

I always have a cheap set of foam ones on a head band and use them in the field or while sighting in away from home.

I can't get used to any plugs for long term and have a custom set that drives me crazy to wear for extended periods. I use muffs for work so I like them the best. They have cheaper silicone plugs that form to your ears and I wish I tried them first without dumping money into something I don't use.

About time you got some and you left my ones on today as well Chris

[HunterAU]

great help by all excluding Olsen who is now gay because bow hunting is for all people who are scared of a little recoil.. and DH338, yeah but with the loads i made we didn't need them

[deerhunter338mag]

Yeah they worked very well

Yes I bought the supreme pro X a couple of months ago. I called up MSA, found the distributers that got back to me. They had a special import of "two into australia" .They are the best I've used. With a discount they cost $380AUD.

I too purchased the Supreme Pro X, from what I have seen and heard I like them. I will test them on Sunday when I go for a shot.
