So today at the range, I had finished up and was collecting my brass and talking with another shooter who reloads, when my phone rang.
Since my ear-pro is electronic and blue-tooth I took the call without looking at my phone. Small mistake because it turned out the caller was a phone solicitor. The call went something like this: Phone Solicitor: Hi! I'm Mike and I'm calling on behalf of blah, blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... Other shooter: *BLAM* *BLAM* PS: ... Uh ... blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. OS: *BLAM* *BLAM* PS: Uh ... what is that? Me: Gunfire. PS: Oh. Is this a bad time? Me: It could be better. PS: Okay, uh, have a good day. Me: Bye. I am taking every call from solicitors when I am at the range from now on.

You should have started yelling out military stuff.
"Whiskey tango foxtrot! They have us us pinned down! Send in Bravo Bravo Charlie team for evac. Oh my God they got Private Ryan! WHHHHYYY GOD, WHHHHY! HE WAS SO YOUNG! Blackhawk down! You can't haandle the truth! Tell my cat I love her. ::drop phone on table and do a mag dump::". Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

FLUFFY! NOOOOOO! YOU BASTARDS! YOU KILLED FLUFFY! My phone loses service when I'm at my range. |

Or you could reject the call or not answer. I put mine on airplane mode while at the range. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I'm going to take every call I can while on the line at the range now. Pretty much only two kinds of calls come to me, during the day, calls from the wife and calls from solicitors. I'm going to have some fun. Besides, if I put my phone on airplane mode, I can't stream Pandora.

For the guys asking, the ear-pro is this:
Walker's Razor-XV with Bluetooth Neck Worn Rechargeable Electronic Ear Plugs (NRR 31dB) Flat Dark Earth They're in the ear, but since they're electronic, you don't hear yourself breathing. I can also wear a brimmed hat on rainy days at the outdoor range.

NRR of 31 which is considerably better than any of my electronic muffs. I don't double up on muffs and plugs because that defeats the purpose of electronic muffs. At an outdoor range my 1911 sounds like a pop-gun. I could tell who was shooting an SBR on the rifle range by the level of electronic cut-off during firing. They even only cut-off on the side that needs it. I really like them. |

Make sure they can clean up blood. Lots of blood! It never fully comes up once it sets  . Had to go do a job when I was working for a carpet cleaner, the guy got shot inside his house and ran out leaving a nice trail. The best part was the flipped mattress with a hole that was perfect for hiding his Fo'tay in .

At what db does the attenuation kick in with those. Like the small size but can't seem to find the info in their product info. I'm not sure, but it is very effective. It's a graduated cutoff, too. There are also separate volume controls for ambient sound and Bluetooth. Like I said before, they are more effective than the electronic muffs I have. (3 different types.) |
