Protect yourself. Protect your hearing.

Posted on July 25, 2013 by Oleg Volk

For a professional musician like Lauren, firing an unsuppressed  rifle can be a career-ending event. Rifle reports are all too close to concussion grenade (flashbang) noise levels. Taking them down by 28-40dB makes a big difference. So does wearing plugs … Continue reading →

Posted on July 19, 2013 by Oleg Volk
