Rangefinder Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Hi some advice required, im thinking of getting custom fit ear protection which ones to avoid and which ones to go for thanks Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Pete Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 I couldn't find a comfortable pair of the over-ear type that didn't get moved by the rifle stock when on aim, so I tried these, and they're great. Normal conversation is, well, normal............ https://www.earshotcommunications.co.uk/shop/product/3m-peltor-level-dependent-earplug-lep-200/ They have different sizes of soft removable and washable silicone rubber seals, so a good fit is obtainable. These are also now available, probably the same technology, but without the recharging from battery facility, (and a lot cheaper!) https://www.earshotcommunications.co.uk/shop/product/3m-peltor-electronic-earplug-eep-100-eu/ Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhhudson Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 I'll second that. Very good little units. Well worth the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Private Marker Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 I bought Shooters Aid ear plugs, very happy with them. I wear them every day at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodlander Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Do you use ear protection alongside a moderator, when Plinking/shooting targets? My hearing is quite good and I’d like to keep it that way. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popsbengo Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 absolutely yes - no question about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizzbangwhallop Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 I’m a happy convert to the EEP100’s fitted with the CENS Minos tips This thread over on SD is well worth reading..... https://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/threads/electronic-earmuffs-fit.176014/ Direct link to the tips (is/was free postage through here).... https://www.puretone.net/product/mino-cens-foam-tips/ my first set of these are still good as opposed to the squeezable tips which came with the EEP’s which got manky very quickly...like with the first use. cheers fizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJC Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Very happy with the Otto’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Pete Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 So where did you get them, and are they gougers like 3M when it comes to replacement tips? (£65 quid for a packet of 25 pairs.............they're having a laugh) Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hi all had the 3m ear protector s for at the range but found them very bulky , used them for 5 years and was happy . Finally took the plunge after seeing the PLUGZZ website At a local business park so popped in for a chat socially distanced etc and got measured/moulds made for the CENS system . I now have mega comfy low profile hearing protection which lets me hear the wind and my noisy feet bird twitters etc then when the bang goes off it’s super quiet . BRILLIANT. Only downside is you don’t always hear the thump of the bullet on the quarry . Wish I’d done this years ago as now suffer from tinnitus/ industrial deafness . Hearing has no price against it so don’t scrimp on protection . Cheers Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangefinder Posted September 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hi Rich, thanks for the info I’ll get a set thanks jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hi there Jimmy think you’ll be very happy with a set , I got the top of the range ones based on the fact the algorithm/ programs have hunter and range settings . They also don’t get in the way of cheekrest. Lots of colours to choose from but thought camo might be a problem if I dropped one near the car . Happy hearing and shooting .
