Thanks for the great links. I shot without hearing protection for years, until ahunting buddy shot arabbit that popped-up with his 221 Fireball near my head by accident. That was 25 years ago and I still hear the bells.

I've seen the banded ear inserts at Lowes and was thinking of trying those. The Sportsman Guide phones look pretty good, too. Can't complain about the price. Thanks for your comments.
