sounder 9 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 As we all like to bring our kids out shooting with shotgun or rifles, from targets to game or going to clayshoots i just wanted to remind people about you kids hearing,it is a known fact that kid hearing is more sensitive to sound than older people, i hate to see young kids at shoot's with no hearing protection as it not alot of money for earmuffs, so people just something to think about when your going shooting again with your kids !!!!! cheers sounder Quote Link to post

whippeter69 88 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I always use these little yellow ear protector that you roll between your fingers and put into your ear and then they increase in size to fit your ear very well Quote Link to post

adbirdy 14 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Sounder Very good advice indeed, I always used to go shooting with my old fella and never wore any ear protection at all. I now have tinnitus in both ears, worse in the left than the right but I now make sure that my lad ALWAYS wears ear defenders when out shooting!!!! (See my avatar) Ade Quote Link to post
