Most shooters have spent hours at the shooting range plinking away with various rifles while wearing foam ear plugs. Foam ear plugs are a great, cost effective way to protect your hearing when shooting. The only downside is that they block noise very well and are a pain to remove and replace, especially when just trying to discuss a target or how a gun is shooting.

In November Wisconsin's concealed carry will take effect. The new law comes with some concern, specifically from the state wildlife officials. To have a concealed weapon permit, one must pass a Department of Natural Resources established class. Hunter safety falls into this category, so a person that completes hunter safety is allowed to apply for a concealed carry license under the state law.
