I own a pair of Pro-Ears and they work fine with long arms. I've owned them 4 years. No problems. No interference with the buttstocks on my M4gery, Match HBAR, 870, FAL or M1A. Haven't used them anywhere but the range so I couldn't vouch for thier utility in hunting.
My one gripe is that they require 4 "N" type batteries. Would be nice if they used "AA" or "AAA". |

I definitely like the features of the Peltor. It appears to be built to accomodate two way radios, which could be handy.
talbalos, which model do you own? How do they handle wind? Any input on how the Peltors handle wind? Thanks, |

Quoted: Peltor Com Tac's. I think he said LESS expensive. [:)] Don't get me wrong, I love my ComTacs, but they're a bit of overkill for hunting. |

I'm looking for all options. The Peltors are priced very close to the ProEars but I think have more features. (there is a ProEars model with audio jack, don't remember price)
I want a pair that allows me to hear everything, but protect my ears from harmful sounds. I think I'm probably damaging my hearing by predator calling. I'm using a long range call and my ears ring a bit after I use it. But, I want to be able to hear it so I know I'm making what I think is the right sound. Thanks for the input from all, please continue! Jim Quoted: Quoted: Peltor Com Tac's. I think he said LESS expensive.

The cheapest price I found on my Comtacs was $220. I have friends who have the Peltor Tac-6s and they seem to be very happy with them. They are about $80 less than the Comtacs. The Comtacs do have a high noise reduction and an auto turn-off feature.
I use my Comtacs for matches, so there is a lot of shooting going on, and I need to hear what's going on around me. If I didn't, I'd probably go for the cheaper Tac-6s. I've never used any brand other than Peltor, so I can't comment on the others. |

Quoted: talbalos, which model do you own? How do they handle wind? IIRC I have a pair of Sporting Clays (No markings other than brand on them). Mine have a patch of material on them to prevent damage to buttstocks. Other than the background noise of branches and leaves rustling, I can't say that I've had any problems with wind (I was at the range a couple of weeks ago when there were gusts of 10-15 mph). BTW I make a living in video production and I can tell you about problems with microphones on windy days [:D] |
