[QUOTE="RangerWalker71, post: 1114695, member: 91759"] Found this from the National Shooting Sports foundation. Pretty good little read and info. Again I did not write it. [FONT=sans-serif]Hunting[/FONT] [FONT=sans-serif]Suppressors are also useful for [/FONT] [FONT=sans-serif]hunting where it is not practical to [/FONT] [FONT=sans-serif]wear ear plugs all day in anticipation [/FONT] [FONT=sans-serif]of shooting.
