I spent 30 seconds to order them cause electrical tape falls off all the time.  I find these much easier.  Worth "spending the time" to order, cause for me thry work a lot better.

I use E-tape.

Reading this entire thread laughing. I have used the finger cot things as gag gifts (likening them to small condoms) for several bachelor partys. Reading here about them....breaking, falling off, worries about things getting down your bore, rolling without protection,  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I always tape the barrel if there's inclement weather or if you carry in pack scabbards. I got a nice elk thanks to my brother not covering his barrel. We were together and decided he would shoot first, just before he shot noticed his barrel was obstructed. It ended up being very minor and would have been safe, but that's not a risk anyone should take. However, in the meantime I figured the only brotherly thing to do was shoot the elk. :chuckle:

E tape over the the muzzle and then more wrapped around the barrel to make sure it stays put. No matter the weather or circumstances it's always there, problems solved.

I use a foam ear plug that, if the situation permits, I take out and put in my left ear before the shot.

+1 for electrical tape. If you slip and your muzzle goes into the mud, you're done for the day, or at least until you clean it.

Don't even bother trying a rubber band over cellophane.  That idea was a total failure.

I don't know why I don't throw one in my pack. Probably because it makes too much sense. Lol

What do you use it for?  I mean I know what a bore snake is used for but what do you use it for where it needs to be in your pack?
It's a TIKKA thing..., you may not understand.

Garrote or tourniquet, depending on how my days going.

No, you're not.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Have one of those too, much easier to pack than a cleaning rod.

Electrical tape, bore snake and a couple drops of oil will fix everything that can be fixed in the field.

E-tape for years, no bore snake but I do carry a K98 cleaning cable and a few patches.
