Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 I used to see people at some of the larger matches making custom fitted types for inside the ear canal. Haven't been to a large match in about nine years, but am getting back into range shooting. I can't shoot a rifle with the huge, bulky, heavy jobs rhat are being sold. They hit the butt stock and keep me from getting a fix on the gun. Are they effective and does anyone still make the custom ones in the Prescott - Prescott Valley Area that you know of? Thanks..

Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L Posted February 16 Posted February 16 I bet there will be a vendor at EOT making custom ear plugs. That’s not to far from you. That type ear plugs is what I have worn for many years shooting cowboy and before that rifle silhouette. 1 Quote
Blackwater 53393 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Mine work very well!! Check with the local law enforcement outfits!! They will likely know someone!! Quote
Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted February 16 Posted February 16 There has been a lady at the Crossroads of the West PV gun show from SoCal that makes them. Last time I was there was about a year ago and she was becoming discouraged at the turnout so I am not sure if she will be there next time. You might be able to contact Crossroads and check on her attendance at the next show. I do like mine. Quote

I used to see people put them in their mouths then stick them in their ears. Ewwwww! I have been considering some of those custom earplugs as well. No one around here makes them. I was thinking about trying these. https://a.co/d/5C4aDXk This person’s instructions on how he molded his to makes them work make sense.

Jack Spade Posted February 16 Posted February 16 I use the Deci-bullz self molded ear plugs. They are around $25 on Amazon and are very easy to mold yourself. I also have a pair of custom molded ones, I got them at the Tulsa gun show. Quote

I occasionally need to use ear drops for a condition that I have and they do work better if my ears have a bit of lubrication in them. 1 Quote
Henry T Harrison Posted February 16 Posted February 16 I have been using the same pair for forty years. They were made for me by Lonnes Wigger at a silhouette shoot in 1984 and still work well 2 Quote
Joe Cross, SASS #13848 L Posted February 16 Posted February 16 My audiologist makes mine and they fit and work perfectly. 1 Quote
Texas Maverick Posted February 17 Posted February 17 (edited) At EOT in NM the last year it was there I bought my set from Hearing Protection Service, LLC - www.HPSSW.com (505) 275-PLUG(7584). They are around $70 and custom fitted at the match and picked up the next day. TM Edited February 17 by Texas Maverick 1 Quote
