I use Howard Leight Impact Sport. They do make it a little tougher for directional sound, but if you slowly swivel your head you can pinpoint direction. They work kind of like vision if it's in the field in front of you you can hear direction well, but if it's outside of that you have to move the mics toward the sound. Also, the loss in detecting direction as easily is made up for in sound amplification. That's aside from the obvious not losing your hearing. It doesn't cut out the sound of the gun shot, but makes it quieter. I can differentiate the sound of different loads/guns.

Not having the directional problems would be cool. Gary do your's function similarly when it comes to hearing shots and amplification?
