[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1767039, member: 30902"] At 6 months I'd say there's probably at least some risk of hearing damage to the unborn child if you're shooting something horribly nasty and loud particularly at the range. Other than that, a single shot on game particularly from a blind where the muzzle is outside of "The box" so to speak probably isn't going to do any harm but I'd still avoid anything punishingly loud to the shooter. Remember the baby is swimming in fluid and fluid is a much better conductor of sound than air. If you're shooting suppressed I wouldn't let it concern me at all. If she's handling firearms however while pregnant she does need to be sure and wash her hands and face thoroughly as soon as the hunt is concluded. She should also avoid drinking from any open containers (not capped or in a cooler) that have been exposed to GSR and the same for eating. No I'm not a doctor but I do understand the potential problems. [/QUOTE]
