Went to the range with my wife last week (rule 1 protected). She wears foam plugs and earmuffs. Teen years of Metallica on headphones and playing in the construction world has kicked my ears' ass. She got tired of trying to yell at each other, so the other night I came home to find two new pairs of Razors and the walkie talkie attachments. Two observations
1. Never used electronics before. Ain't going back to regular
2. Holy 5hit the conversations I'd never heard before from other lanes. Group of two 20ish Army dudes with a gaggle of their collective friends. They were trying to convince two girls with them to shoot at 100 yards to qualify so they could all go shoot at the 300 range. But first there was a 20 minute discussion of whether of not they were going to Arby's afterwards to eat. And then it turned into a middle school lunchroom. Oh hey look, I can turn off the Razors until they leave.
Every other time I've gone to a range our conversations have been wanna shoot my X or need another target? Never realized Facebook was verbalized while shooting. Now I completely understand Grandfathers who turn off or "forget" hearing aids.
