Kim and I are both using Howard Leight Impact Sports with NoiseFighter cushions. I’ve been running the HLs for years and my only complaint with them was the cushion was too thin. The noisefighter cushions are awesome, I got in on them as a kickstarter.

Just bought a pair of Walker's Razor Patriot Electronic Earmuffs for a long range class. They worked great, ene with someone shooting a .50 Barrett

HL Impact Sports for me also. Nothing but good luck out of them. I've had 2 or 3 other brands that all crapped out super fast.

Mine did too at the Coleman's, along with a Benelli Nova that looked like it spent a winter spreading salt in one night. Rusted like a mofo!

Something to be aware of is that some of the cheaper ones cut off all sound during a gun shot and then fade back in, this can get real annoying real fast. Ones like the HL filter out the gun shot, don't cut out like the cheaper ones.

I use and approve of the HL muffs too.
Those things are everywhere. I had to put my online initials on mine to keep from getting someone elses sweat all over me.

Some are amazed at how much more you can hear with them on if you crank the volume up. I've heard some hunters wear them not only for the protection but also because they can hear game moving through the brush with them on.

I’ve been to meets at Lincoln trail and cranked them up and been able to hear conversations across the range and the water in the creek..

I have heard the same......when i get some ill give it shot. But i dont wear hearing pro during hunting. Its only one shot and usually i have a beanie on that helps a bit.
