I have the same issue. As a former helicopter pilot I tried the ear plugs with the regular helmet ear cuffs. I just could not do it and have diminished hearing because of it.

I do have a set of Howard Leight Impact Sport that my son gave me for Christmas a few years ago.

They work great. I will also try the wearing backwards trick - first time I have heard that.

I am fortunate to have my own outdoor range. I have a box of muffs, ear plugs and eye protection for guests but as Jeff mentioned, outdoor shooting really doesn't require the high end protection for hearing.
