[QUOTE="Wile E Coyote, post: 1001399, member: 28381"] You touch on the very reason I posted this. I too have friends who hunt and shoot w/o any hearing protection. And I have to raise my hand as also guilty. In the situation last week where I was hurt, [I] in my opinion,[/I] there was nothing done malicious or negligently. The range I was at, has the benches closer to each other than most and I've been shooting there for years. By no means was this the first time I was adjacent to this, or other braked rifles when fired. The shooter next to me DID announce he was about to fire; I was getting on my gun to spot his hit. Unfortunately for me, that was the exact moment when the ear protection I had was not on my head properly and the gun was fired. It was at that moment when my ability to hear went from really good to "we'll have to wait and see." I also got to use that new overpriced health insurance I have this year! But that's another story. My purpose in posting this is to have those who take the time to read this, understand that it only took a second to have a problem and a serious one at that. I'm not trying to sell anyone's product nor demand that anyone wear hearing protection. Those are your (the reader's of this thread) choice's alone. Pete . [/QUOTE]
