Passive Shooting Ear Muffs

Ear muffs are the hearing protective devices (HPDs) most preferred by shooters. Although earplugs are generally more effective and less cumbersome than ear muffs for shooters, the ear muffs are easily removed between rounds and they can readily be seen to be in place, which makes rule enforcement easier on shooting ranges. Any noise protection ear muffs can be used to protect against the sounds of gunfire, but the models listed below are made specifically for shooters. These tend to be shaped for less interference with the gun stock when shooting, and/or with a higher rating to deal with the extreme noise conditions frequently encountered in shooting, especially when shooting big-bore weapons. TIP: For the highest noise protection available, use dual protection, that is a highly rated earplug (NRR 29+) worn at the same time under a highly rated ear muff (NRR 30+). This combination will give you the greatest noise protection available at any price.
