I am in the look for a new set of hearing muffs for shooting USPSA and 3 gun. Right now I am using a pair of ear plugs I have molded for me and using them it is hard to hear the buzzer. So what kind of muffs would you all recommend?

Re: Looking for some new ear muffs
Go the electronic route. I shot bullseye under a tin roof, and the noise was horrendous with 50 shooters. Used a combination of the molded silicone and Peltor Tac 7 Classic which I still use. Think they're called P-7 now. Never had a problem with timers or range commands. My only complaint is the size when rifle shooting.
The MSA Sordin is also very popular and gives slightly more protection. I think Triad (Hide Vendor) has them.

Re: Looking for some new ear muffs
You can go electronic if hearing the range commands is your priority. Ear plugs offer the very best protection, which is why you are having trouble hearing the buzzer. Here is the compromise I would recommend: http://www.sinclairintl.com/.aspx/pid=33262/Product/Peltor_Bull_s_Eye__6__Shotgunner
Inexpensive, low-profile, and good protection(less than plug though...so allow you to hear a little better).

I like the howard leight impact sport electronic muffs. I think Midway has them for 50 or 60.

Re: Looking for some new ear muffs
I've had the Howard Leight and there ok, when they work. They have been known to have trouble with the wire connections. I'm also in the market and have looked at the peltor, sordins, ext.. Has anyone used a few pair of the higher end muffs and are the higher $ ones worth it? Real world results, not what you heard. I'm looking for noticeable differences in shut off speed ext.. The Howard Leights are slow in that reguard.
