Whats earmuffs do you use?

[wade11a]

I shoot a lot and my job is in a very noisy environment. So when I go shooting I am looking to preserve what hearing I have left. I wear shooting glasses and custom molded earplugs. My question is what earmuffs would allow me to wear my earplugs, safety glasses and still be able to shoot a rifle/shotgun without interfering with the stock? I am looking at the Howard Leight Leightning LOF ear muffs. Has anyone used these? I am looking for some opinions here. Thanks for the information.

I have those and my shooting style does not allow me to use them with my carbine except when in prone. We all shoot differently though.

Disposable earplugs with a 30dB rating and Howard Leight slim muffs.
I double up...hearing is something that you dont get back once it's gone.
Some of the active-cancellation systems are nice but I haven't found a pair that I like yet.

I hear ya about the noise cancellation muffs. I have some really nice form fitted ear plugs, but I am looking for some ear muffs to fit over them that will accommodate shooting glasses and still allow me to shoot a rifle with out getting in the way. Like you said hearing is something you can't get back!! I think that the biggest challenge for me is going to be finding some ear muffs that will let me shoot a long gun and not interfere.

I use the All Ears custom molded ear plugs from the supporting vendor on this forum. They are great! I couple them with muffs when I'm working Hunter Sight-In days at my range and even ported Magnums don't hurt my ears when I'm right by the shooter's bench!

Actually just some cheap muffs I got. I think they are Silencio brand. I wasn't really concerned about getting really expensive muffs as they are my second line of defense if you will. Most of the time I just wear the custom molded ear plugs.

Do they interfere with shooting a rifle or shotgun? What about wearing shooting glasses?

That is what my plan is also. Just trying to find the right pair of ear muffs.

I wear the same earmuffs, they're fairly slim so they don't interfere when shooting rifles.
