Unknown suppressors OG testing

[pods8 (Rugged Stitching)]

But I’m sure a ton of guys who are like me are wondering…”is it worth it?”. I mean if at the end of the day it’s still loud, adds weight to the end of your rifle, adds length, and costs over a grand…then is the only real tangible benefit that animals react less?

Tell me your ears don’t ring all day every day without telling me.

Is it worth it to try and keep it that way? I would suggest yes but don’t mind MeeeeeEeeeeEEeeeeEeeeeee (that e part keeps going).

No mine ring all day every day. Nobody told me for the first five years on construction sites that grinders & chop saws did damage to your ears when you use them every day.

Since I have mondo tinnitus, I use earpro for every single shot. And when I forget…ouch.
If the suppressor gets me to not use it for hunting, and I still go “Oh holy hell, next time put the dang earplugs in!” then have I spent over a grand just to have less reaction from the animals sometimes? This isn’t necessarily my strong personal view, it’s one expressed commonly among my hunting group as I’m the only forum participator and the only suppressor owner.

50% of the time I’m around gun shooters, the other 50% I’m around gun owners. And the latter group has that outlook. And I can’t really convincingly discuss it bc so far they have the better argument. So I’m trying out another one and will do a comparison.

I have tinnitus from years of being young and dumb….

Suppressors are 100% mandatory for me to protect what ears I have left, not to mention the added benefit of shooting better.

A good suppressor should have equal to or more sound attenuation to ear plugs. 20-30db ish… So if you’re fine shooting with foamies, a can will be the same.
