Dan Wrote:Most loud noises are tolerable for a period of time. For precision shooters electronic hearing protection should be fine if you have a good seal. For rapid fire however I would not recommend electronics for that very reason. When the manufacturer sent me mine they said that they should only be used for hunting or in outdoor settings when shots are not frequent. The same would be true for the Hocks or any other kind of noise breaker/reducer.
So the Hocks look small and compact for bench shooting but will they be ok for walking thru the woods and still hear things like my big ass clumping thru the leaves? They actually would be a lot nicer than wearing big ol muffs. How much are those and do they fit them to each persons ears???
I have been looking at these kind of muffs and wondering if they are sufficient. There not the $900 like you said above and not sure what is $900. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/914108/...-next-camo.
So, the Hocks price range? Just called a local office and $165, multi colors and string so you can drop them out and hang on your shirt.
And are they fit to each person? Yup
Will the above electronic ones like Midway has be sufficient for outdoor target practicing?
Thanks for the info Dan.
