New to shooting, fearful of ear damage

[u/macmuaythai]

Interested and excited to start this hobby/pastime. But am fearful of the damage to ears, I already purchased some walker xcel 500 headphones for outdoor shooting and was going to double up. Wondering if there is anything else I can do or if I should just not worry

Whenever practical I try to double up hearing protection. Get some comfortable and good fitting foam earplugs with a high rating as well as your over ear protection.
