Look after your hearing and wear protection , it’s bad enough to loose it naturally through old age without being an idiot and helping the ageing process do its work years before it should happen ..... like I did...

terryd 8,485 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Yea look after your lugs. I have had my ears syringed 2 or 3 times in the past and each time you get a great whoosh and you can hear clear as a bell. But had them done last year and no whoosh. So thats them buggered. Lots of years with loud machines and shooting catches up with you 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
