Re: hunting ear protection?

I use the Impacts previously mentioned for both hunting and weekly summer silhouette matches. A set of batteries last me at least a year and I believe two years. That would be roughly 50 days per year. That said, another silhouette shooter swears by these Peltor plugs. https://www.midwayusa.com/prod...

The law is on the Governor's desk that would give the discretion to the PGC to allow semis for hunting. It remains to be seen if he will sign it and then what the PGC will do if he does.
