What is your recoil threshold poll?

[JiggyIi]

I've got enough…..more not needed! I can't feed those I have…..I don't need "more mouth's to feed"! memtb

Aaaahhh C'mon always room for one more i need a 280 Rem LH Bolt 26" pipe, stainless synthetic

I've never shot mine without brake either. I've shot 454 Cassul and even 45 Colt out of it. The 45 Colt is a little pop with no recoil

Recently bought a pair too.....definitely dislike the wires

I didn't really think about the wires when I bought them but I noticed it's not very handy trying to work the controls when they lay on side of your neck.

I went to using the Axil GS Extreme for the little bench shooting I do. I hate the wires but its more comfortable than the bulkier hearing protection which can interfere with a good cheek weld to the stock. The Axil setup still allows for hearing while hunting but often I feel like I miss some sounds... but then again, does anyone ever hear a deer walking thru the brush in the woods? I think not. lol

My Axil protectors show up this week. I can't wait to try them out.

You guys ever try one of these? Especially for those who shoot in the summer
I shoot year around like yesterday. rt

I've been using one for quite a few years for extended bench session s. It's quite helpful. I can't get my wife to use it though…..she just can't get comfortable wearing it and shooting, also refuses to consider a brake! However, she never shoots much from the bench with her hunting rifle. When questioned about her hunting rifle, her response was "If you wanna run with the big dogs….you can't **** like a pup"! Gotta love a woman with that attitude! memtb

I just bought the same Axil's. I'm bout deaf. I'm not happy with the hearing amplification of them. I have a set of Walker Silencer's that I've had for a couple years. No cables. They work well.

I had to go with the cables….I'd constantly be losing "ear buds" if they weren't on a "chain" around my neck! It's use through necessity! memtb

The Walker Silencer's are way more amplified to hearing and shut off well when shooting. I have a pair of Walker and when my son was playing video games online with friends I could hear every word he was saying while I was in living room and he all the way down the hall in his bedroom. I'd yell out " I heard that !".

Agreed! I usually turn them up just below hearing wind noise and don't adjust very often!

With no wind, I can bring the volume up high enough to hear the grass "rustle" as I stalk through it! memtb

I got mine for $129.99 no sales tax at Cabela's in Billings about 3 weeks ago. I didn't think to check Scheels when I was there before that . I've seen online for low as $99.99. also have seen their earbuds for $599.99 ! Screw that. I got my Walker Silencer's half off on a sale from Midway for less than $100 two years ago.

That's good to hear. I haven't tried in the field yet. They came with the little wind things. Have to tried them ? I'm hoping will work better than around the house. I think my hearing has a lot to do with it. Half deaf in left ear close to in right.

The XVR is so heavy….I think (hope) that I could handle the recoil without the brake. If not, remove the brake for plinking…..re install for hunting with the heavy loads! memtb

 

[WYO300RUM]

Do the Walkers amplify sound pretty well ? If so I would be interested in these ? I would use them even in archery if that was the case.

They do very well. You can hear all kinds of things in the woods you don't with your ears. At least my deaf ears .

Have you or do you use the brake that came with it for lead loads ? I haven't .

I was going to carry it while hunting in case of griz. Even bought a Gunfighter holster for it. I wanted to keep the Sig Romeo red dot on it tho. It's motion activated. So it basically would be on all the time while walking but it wouldn't fit all the way in holster with it on. I was going to heat holster up with hair dryer and mold it. I changed my mind and thought the XVR is to **** heavy anyway . Returned the holster . Bought a new Glock 20 10mm from a buddy few days later. Bought a Gunfighter holster for it. Done deal !
