Title: Yet another question from a new member about hearing protection
Post by: Al_G19 on May 10, 2011, 11:41:43 AM: When I used to do my calling with a rifle I never used hearing protection, however when I go to the range I double up with plugs and muffs.
No that I am wanting to get back into calling and will be only using a handgun I was curious how many wear ear protection while calling when shooting a hand gun?

I did try it a couple of times (ear plugs) when using a rifle but always felt that I could never quite trust the volume of my calls that way using an e-caller or mouth calls.

Thanks in advance to all.

In the colder months I wear a head cove that goes over my ears and it cuts the bang out realy well. If I go big game I don't take plugs I'm more likely to shoot more out calling which is where you lose hearing with multiple shots like with doubles or more.
