[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1343772, member: 30902"] No I take responsibility for it either way. When I started shooting we simply didn't wear any protective gear at all ears, eyes, or anything else. Even in the service we'd wear cheap assed issue plugs at the range but never during an exercise or a fight. I probably have a couple of million rounds down the pipe without any hearing protection it almost seems silly to take advantage of it now but when I can I do, especially if I'm planning a day at the range. Most of my shooting on game and varmints "just happens" while I'm driving one of my places or heading back to town. Coyotes and pigs rarely give you any longer than it takes to get stopped, get a bead on them, and get the bullet downrange. In a lot of cases they may stop just for a second and then take off giving you a running shot or nothing. Even 5-10 seconds is more than enough to cost you a shot. You do things your way, I'll do them mine but relax, don't think you can condescend to me much less berate me into submission. Won't happen. [/QUOTE]
