Duct Tape on muzzle brake

[brant89]

There are both muffs and in ear types of electronic protection that protect your ears above a certain DB threshold and allow anything under that to get through. I've heard they make it harder to determine the direction of sound but I've never run them so I wouldn't know.

At the range I always have used wax ear plugs and ear muffs over that, double protedtion.

I have a couple of Howard Leight e-hearing protection that works as noted by brant89 and Axil GS extreme earbuds for shooting/hunting.

There are hearing protection devices like Walkers that have microphones built inside them that enhance your hearing when hunting and shut off when noise reaches harmful decibels of sound, like a shot.

Why not unscrew the brake and install a thread protector instead if you don't like the muzzle brake?

Not threaded.

When hunting in the field a muzzle brake is a pain and the extreme noise can damage your hearing. Has anybody ever tried wrapping the end of the gun with duct tape in order to block the holes on the muzzle brake? Is this an ok way to temporarily block the muzzle brake?

If you have a removable brake, one option would be to remove the brake and install a thread protector.

Cut, thread and re-crown ?

Gorilla Tape will blow off in one shot just like electrical tape. I use it while hunting every time because it keeps rain ,mud, and snow out of the bore. As far as I can tell there are no downsides to the practice.

Not threaded.

Even when it is threaded and uses a thread protector, it might change your barrel harmonics and possibly have a shift in POI.

Seriously? Has it occurred to you that simply shooting any firearm without hearing protection, whether it has a brake or not, will damage your hearing.

NO

 

[338 dude]

Will the electrical tape blow off after just one shot?

Yes

The problem with ear plugs is that you cannot hear the game rustling the brush.

You can with electronic protection and they will actually amplify the noise around you but yet cut out the noise it will damage your hearing

 

[338 dude]

I am not familiar with electronic protection. What is that?

Look up walkers game ear this is what I have but there are many many others

 

[robpiat]

I'd like to be there or have a video when you first try these They actually amplify ambient. There are other options but I like these so much that I bought some for the wife and kids. These do not cut out from the gunshot, they lower it to normal volume so there isn't the intermittent on/off.
