yep, they'll make a big difference in the amount ofringing you'll get in your ears.

If your shooting on an improvised range and you forget ear plugs you can use a couple dry patches. Wad em up in your ears.It's not as good as plugs but it helps. I try to keep a set of plugs in every gun box but occasionally I missplace them and need to improvise.

I always try to wear eye protection too!

I shot it in my back yard and was not thinking, I got excited to finally get to shot it, been getting rain every day, lighting storms.

I do a lot of Pistol Shooting. About a month ago, I went to the range and left my Ear Muffs home......didn't feel like driving back so I used Nicorette Gum. Worked well and now my ears don't crave cigarettes.......
