Shooting Range Hearing Protection Guide

The discussion focused on hearing protection at shooting ranges, where the professor emphasized that earplugs alone are insufficient due to bone-conductive noise, and recommended using both earplugs and muffs, particularly the Walker Razor electronic muffs.

Jarrad inquired about shoulder and cheek weld issues with large muffs, and the professor confirmed that smaller electronic muffs like the Walker Razors work well for shooting.

OEG Vision and Shooting Accuracy

The meeting focused on discussing vision issues and their impact on shooting accuracy, particularly with the use of an occluded eye gun sight (OEG) and prescription glasses.

The Professor shared his research findings and experiments conducted with students, demonstrating how the OEG can improve accuracy for shooters with different vision conditions. Jarrad and Zach participated in the discussion, sharing their personal experiences with the OEG and its effectiveness. 

Larry Vickers SOTG Exclusive

Hybrid Firearms Training Discussion

The group discussed Student of the Gun University, a hybrid firearms training school that offers online home study and in-person residency programs.

They reviewed the benefits of the program, including flexible learning options and accessibility for students worldwide. The conversation then shifted to recent rifle training at Pro Gun Vegas, where they expressed gratitude to the hosts and instructors for a successful event.
