It’s understandable why 75% of hunters never wear hearing protection. Hearing protection decreases your situational awareness which makes all parts of hunting harder. Silencers are the best solution for hunters as it decreases the dB level at the source of the shotgun barrel. Even if you purchase noise cancelling hearing protection, you’re still going to be damaging your dog’s hearing, along with the people around you. Silencers are the best all-in-one solution to shoot quiet.
