Howard Leight Impact Sport Bolt: Attack the noise

Hearing protection: if you’re shooting, you’re gonna need it.  Even exposure to certain suppressed guns can accumulate over time to cause permanent damage.  The problem with the most effective methods of ear protection (earpro) is that they’re effective against all sound.  If you’re stalking a deer or listening for range commands, hearing (or not) can […]

Howard Leight Impact Sport Bolt | First Look Shot Show 2017

Last year, I tested and reviewed the 2016 Impact Sport Earmuffs from Howard Leight. A great set of earmuffs that I still use to this day. In fact, I’ve purchased a couple additional pairs that I keep in my range loadout bag. My two sons usually accompany me and I wanted the best for their ears as […]

Howard Leight Impact Sport Earmuffs: Review

The overall slender design of the Impact Sport Earmuffs reduced any interference when shouldering a rifle. In addition, they fit comfortably under a Modular Integrated Communications Helmet (MICH) as well as the Ops-Core and Team Wendy helmet variants.
