I'm starting to get serious about protecting my hearing. I haven't lost much at all from shop work and shooting, but my Dad is deaf and I don't want to end up like him. I'm thinking about using hearing protection for anything bigger than .22 rifles and low-brass shotguns (long barreled).
I have electronic ear muffs, but they don't work well when worn in the field. I can't detect directional sound well and they're hot in the summer. I would like an option I can apply in a couple seconds before I take a shot at a non-running animal (think squirrel hunting with a .357). Anyone have any ideas for something that is quicker than earplugs?
