could they work for someone sleeping near a gun shooting range?

They are very effective at removing steady background sounds, for example from aircraft engines as heard by passengers, or the air handlers and machinery noise in an office environment. They will muffle sudden sounds, but I do not think they would help much with the shock waves from gun shots since they are so fast and unpredictable.

No, they would not be good for shooting range noise. They are good for constant low frequency noises, but gunfire would still be heard. They are better off with those foam earplugs you can get from the the drugstore. I used to be on a rifle team and those help considerably.

My opinion would be good. I got them for the gun range and they cut out most of the noise. Also very comfortable for long periods of use.

Probably not. The belt does not stay that tight, and the weight of the gun might loosen it through out the day.

Depends what gun you are shooting, I presume. It wouldn't be enough for me, I know that. Stick with the full headset type in my book! Lawn mowing--- might dull it, probably ok. Certainly not going to be quiet though.

In my estimation you don't really need a rifle rest. I'm 65 years old and don't like carrying in extra stuff as I had to pack it in a little over a mile. You can rest on the bar that goes around in front of you. I shot a 4X4 muley at about 50 yds with mine using a muzzle loader and a red dot sight this year from my Summit Viper SD. He crossed in front of me and dropped about 25yds later after being hit through both lungs.

I would think so I used them on a sleep number slit with a movable mattress

I'd think they'd be damned uncomfortable unless you sleep on your back without turning your head to the side at all. But, then, I've never tried sleeping with them on, so I can't provide an answer from personal experience. You'd probably be better off using some ear plugs to block out noisy neighbors.

I've tried using these at the range during pistol shooting and this is not a good use for them.. not enough loud sound level ear protection...

Horrible idea. If i was in your house and you pulled any type of weapon on me, you can guarantee Im drawing and firing. If youd like something for home defense without spending $400 and needing permits, check out the pistol grip crossbows on this site. Theyll get the job done.

Yes. I shoot a browning x-bolt 30-06 and a glock 21. Both are bloody loud. These do better than the orange foam stuff in ear plugs. However, you can find ear muffs that have a higher decible dapening rating and electronic opperated so they block out loud gunshot but not normal speaking, so people don't have to shout at you.

If your neighbor' house's is 15 feet from your, yes you would scare them. It is too powerful for small patios. It also depends on what kind of neighbors you have. Other than that the rifle is awesome.

No definitely not. For shooting you need to stick with foam earplugs and/or earmuffs. The earasers are not going to protect against the high decibels of a firearm.

yes they will help, however these rifles do have substantial recoil, if you shoot a lot at one session you still could be uncomfortable, imagine the peasant boy in ww2 shooting for days!!!

I like to shoot without any outside lights. So yes I believe, you can shoot at night with these. I like to control my own light, these make a great light source.

No-you need approved ear wear for shooting. Contact American audiology or your local shooting range.Good Luck

I don't think so. Have not tried. My reason for purchase was to have protection when I am at a disaster and we are working with chain saws. I would find them heavy and bulky for sleeping. Might be ok if you only sleep on your back. I like them for the purpse that I purchased them for. Today, I was going to go to a Sport Event where we were going to be shooting guns at targets and skeet shoting and I was going to take them.

You sure can but you'll need to set trigger adjustment all the way down or you'll blow right through it. A brad nailer or small trim gun would be more suited for that job. Good luck.
