Electronic ear protection is great if you don't have a gun that fits. At least the electronic muffs I have.

Are there some muffs that don't get in the way, when you have a gun with a cheek weld?

Consider the alternatives:

1) Permanent hearing damage.

2) Not being able to hear while you hunt.

The secret in my case is not special muffs, but my SpecOps stock. My ear muffs manage to just clear even the optional cheek piece add-on.
 
I use a shotgun for wingshooting.

Of course, I refuse to shoot a ported gun, and I do wear ear protection when there's any echo, etc. But out in the open in the field, my 20 is not loud to the shooter. The 12 isn't bad, either. A gun next to me is a LOT louder than my own gun. That's when I'm a lot more likely to wear plugs.

Depends on the terrain, the load, etc. I will use hearing protection when it's the better alternative.
 
I dont know why I was looking, considering I have 3 shotguns now.... I can only shoot one at a time. But since all of mine are 16g I was thinking about adding a HD 12g to the stable. See, I have a 20" Riot barrel (cut down from a old barrel with a Cutts compensator) for my new to me Win Model 12g. And, my Sweet Sixteen w/ a 24" barrel would work great, ask all the Malaysian Tribesman that English Soldiers whipped with them as ambush busters. But for some reason I was banding about a a new gun.... imagine that.
I should tell everyone my story about the English veteran I met while in Italy... new thread coming.
