Buck Holliday...I recomend using the small foam rubber inserts for your hearing protection,they are easy to use and don't cost very much at all.If your wanting hearing protection while out during Hunting Season and You want to improve your hearing capabilities I recommend something like a Walkers Game Ear,it amplifys the sound yet cuts off when You shoot.
I have a question about having someone Dry-fire a Rifle....isn't that bad or hard on a Rifle when You Dry-fire it?
