To enjoy and get the most of out of this fun sport of Sporting Clays choosing essential safety gear to protect your hearing is key.
Almost any shotgun can be used especially hunters shotguns as this is what Sporting Clays is all about. There is of course a huge selection of firearms to choose from.
As with any shooting sport safety first when sensitive hearing is involved!
Common sense is required when ears may be affected and a round of Sporting Clays is no exception.
Ear protection is essential when 50 to a 100 rounds of shotgun are fired. When standing behind other shooters a shotgun blast can still affect your hearing.

There are Pros and Cons for hearing protectors.
As what to become was a life long hobby and shooter I invested early in my shooting gear to protect my senses.
After all I had to use and wear safety gear at work so why not when I played!
My first choice is the head muff with extras. A Sport Ear muff a huge pro factor.

With up to 8X sound amplification you can enjoy total control over both volume and frequency, allowing you to zero-in on just the sounds you want to hear. You can block out their noise with the twist of a dial.
Plus I can also use them in the garage, around the shop or cutting the lawn or listen to music!
The M-Series earmuffs also have an auxiliary port where you can plug in any phone, tablet or listening device making this the easiest way to integrate technology into your activity without any complications.
