The head bad on mine is not great for bald heads a bit sharp. I also have a few sets of cheap ones for the family and spares that are pretty good as well. Just check the net and the LGS.

So I am a young shooter, who is lucky enough to still have good hearing. Now as we all know, guns are bloody loud, and often when hunting you dont have time to put hearing protection on before taking your shot.
Now my ears are still ringing from one particularly bad shot over the weekend from a 308, which has me really quite angry about the whole suppressor situation. I play musical instruments as well, so I do really enjoy the ability to hear things, like most people I assume! So with all the health and safety crap going around in all industries, why are suppressors still illegal?
I would like to do something about this, as I feel like it is needlessly deteriorating my hearing, and those around me. Who can I talk to in my local area to raise concerns about this?
I know this has probably been attempted in the past, but cmon, even countries with super duper strict gun laws like the UK encourage suppressors.
Cheers
Dan

need to be class 5 for shooting
but because the electronic hearing protection amplifies low noise would that be acceptable to fair chase connoisseur while hunting

Do you have a specific recommendation? I imagine trade quality ones from Bunnings etc would not be fast enough. Or are they "always on" so anything over volume is automatically chopped.
