I think we won the artillery compition in smoothbore. Waiting on the official results. We had 5 shots on target at roughly 600 yards.

That sounds like lots of fun with modern ear protection. Or do you rough it and risk the hearing?

I had ear plugs. Not sure how much it helped. On the right of us was a 12 pound bronze cannon that rang like a bell when it went off. They used a full 2 pound powder load. It rattled my teeth when it went off. I could feel the concussion in my sinuses.

Yeah, that's gonna hurt.

My hearing is so sensitive and I've managed to protect it, I'd have to run away.
 
I cant hear shit. Ive always worn ear plugs on the range. I worked in a stamping plant for 5 years and even with 35db ear plugs every day it screwed up my hearing

I have to wear earplugs just for normal volume levels sometimes or I have to flee the room.

Ulaven has to sit much closer to the TV and I still usually have to throw in some earplugs, definitely for movies. He has ear damage from artillery during training in the Army.

Artillery, concerts, music blasting in earphones, loud motorcycles, music blasting in earbuds ON loud motorcycles.. etc. Etc.

Bless you for all the sound sacrifices you have made, we're always in that place where you can't hear and I hear too much :)
 
*sounds of screaming and running around*

quit screamin', wench - what're a couple of fingers of fun between friends?

infinitely better than cadbury's lyrical advert ''A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat.” especially now, given hindsight with regards to the era... :eek:
