unforgiven Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 You have to protect your hearing now after 40 yrs. of loud now this tinnitus is very fukin annoying. The high frequency pitch coming out of the vacuum system at a plastic Thermo plant red lined what was left. So your left with a high frequency hum, just something you learn to deal with.

ARTrooper Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 @98Z5V those won’t work to well for hunting around Wisconsin. We usually hear deer long before we see them. It’s not like more open areas where you are glassing for animals. Even in areas like mine where you can get some 300 yard shots sometimes, you will still hear the deer first because of the deciduous forests we have. The forest floor is noisy as hell. As a kid I was even taught to never even cover my ears with a hat in the cold for this very reason. It was always do nothing to impede your hearing.

98Z5V Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Have you tried those, though? You can still hear through them, when you don't have them capped. The only time I cap mine is when I'm shooting something CRAZY loud. Otherwise, no caps needed, shooting - and you can still hear. And it doesn't impede your cheek-to-stock weld.

I need something for duck hunting where we talk in the blind but shit! Birds! No time for plugs. That’s where I get burned the most and for 13$ I’ll try them. I’m still ordering some muffs.

That's their secret. Same shiit with squirrels and rabbits - FDE. The bears, I can't explain - especially if they're black bears. God didn't like them very much, making them black. That is a color that does NOT occur in nature, in vegetation, and it sucks in the woods - that color stands OUT in the woods, and it's even crazier in night vision - it glows in night vision... Deer, rabbits and squirrels? FDE. We're not meant to find them. They find US. Especially those fuckin' deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
