Bought Some New Hearing Protection....Wow

My amplified ear muffs are getting pretty old and they cause my ears and surrounding area to ache after about an hour. If I have range safety officer duty for 6 hours or so it unbearable. So I looked at getting molded amp'd models but at our last gun show the guy that does the cast and sells them ($800) was not there so more looking. I finally settled on a set of 3M Peltor TEP-100 Tactical jobs and they are rechargeable in the case with 3 AA batteries acting as the charge unit. Got them last Wednesday and tried them today with Big Ollie at the range and they amplify really great. I can hear the whole range which is nice. I was curious as to the noise cut off and when I shot the 90 grains of FFG the first time so much sound was cut I thought the gun miss-fired! Several more shots showed the same effect and NO discomfort at all after several hours.

I bought them from Magnum Electronics in Dover Delaware and they were great, great price too.
