Dan,

Yes, I remember Uncle Sam issued us COTTON wadding on the covered firing points where we shot M1 Carbines in 1962. I can hear "crickets in December" to this day.....

Seriously, I told my dentist (an avid shooter and home defender) just last week about covering at least one ear in gravest extreme. He was stunned that no one had ever mentioned such a procedure during his prior home firearms defense classes.

Yea, Yea: It is the old dog, new trick thing I suppose.

muledeer,

Many thanks for the kind reply. I tell my handgun class students the same thing.
