[QUOTE="ATH, post: 953025, member: 1656"] Generally I run Caldwell electronic muffs, but I don't take them hunting except with pistols. I specifically chose the 300WM as my long range cartridge because I could have a rig which I could shoot without a muzzle brake and forego the ear protection. I know it would be nice to always have ear protection, but that's not always realistic when hunting and 1000+ yd shots are rare enough when not specifically sought after that I elected to limit myself to 900 yds with the 300WM and carry backup plugs in my pocket. Sure enough, when I got a shot at a long range elk he was above us with eyes on us and I had to shoot without thinking of ear protection. Most closer range shots with that rifle have also been quick enough that pausing to put in ears may have precluded making a shot. [/QUOTE]
