Hi guys those of you who shoot a full bore rifle with moderator, do ye use electronic ear protection as well for stalking? and if so what kind? I am thinking electronic ear plugs might be OK under those circumstances. Opinions / experiences? Thanks!

I can not shoot my 223 without hearing protection in the field or at the range.

But using the ASE Northstar mod I can and do shoot without protection, it makes it very easy on the ears.

I use these ear protectors

How much do they they cost and what's the story with getting them fitted?
Cheers.
