How to Protect Your Hearing When Shooting

Practice Safe Shooting – Use Protection!

Every hunter and shooter knows to practice proper gun safety in order to protect themselves and those around them from accident or injury. But one thing that often goes overlooked is ear protection.

The infographic below from The Smoking Barrel explains the reasons why you need ear protection when shooting, as well as how to best protect your ears.
