In February 2012 Kyle created the worlds first thermo-fit custom earphone and Decibullz was born.
>muzzle-braked AR
you broke a vase when you knock it over, you brake a car and gun when you slow its movement.
>we all watched him hit himself in the face with his buffer tube like he didn't quite know how to shoot it normal.
Sounds more like a tactical timmy that has no idea about form and function of guns. Probably couldnt hit the broadside of a barn at 10 ft.
>am I wrong that that's an obnoxious thing to do?
This is entirely subjective, there is no objective right answer. For me? Yeah, youre wrong. The dude bought and paid for range time like anyone else. If he is not breaking the rules, or endangering anyone, he is fine. I get you may not like what he is doing, but that doesnt make him an asshole, its just part of the quirks of an indoor range.
If anyone is to blame, it should be the range for either, allowing guns they shouldnt, or not having enough wall between stalls. But even thats a stretch for me. Like i said, its the nature of the beast with indoor ranges.
If you are looking to double up, may I reccomend Decibullz? I RSO, so doubling up is an absolute must for me, and these have works really well. My only tip, is when moulding them, hold your jaw about 3/4" open. It widens your ear canal a bit, so when it sets, and you close your mouth, it has a better seal.
Here's some of the things that are good to have on hand. A lot of it is newer since I'm replacing things I did not care for. Most, if not all, can be found on Amazon. Its a little list but hardly scratches the surface of crap that you can accumulate.
For shooting:
Cleaning:
Everything else:
Protip: If you're not ready to invest in proper molds (you really should), these mold them at home earplugs are the best thing I found as an interim solution.
I bought a bunch of them for our junior staff and management and they really are great, as long as you mold them properly.
You drop them in hot water to soften them up, mold them, then let them harden. If you screw it up, you can just put them in hot water again.
There is a cheaper version as well, but it has a different insert that cuts with a curved response, so isn't as good for audio, but still way better than "fits all" earplugs, or nothing.
Seriously, I'm a 40+ year old audio guy as well and I can tell you that, as I get older, I'm super happy that we have accessible analyzer tools now, because my ears certainly aren't what they used to be.
Those earplugs are great, but I kept losing one of the pair because they are so small. Now, I use these:

If you ignore the...terrible name, they're effectively Etymotics but with moldible surroundings that hold them in the right place in your ear, while also making them larger so that it's harder to lose them. More comfortable and consistent, in my opinion. If you wind up having the problems I wound up having, these might help you out.
I'm not familiar with Play-doh like plugs, but I did go down this route for custom molded plugs. They work well for knocking down wind noise, yet I can still hear engine revs and whatever the Sena is playing.
I always recommend Decibullz. I've been using them for a year now and they are a life saver. The best part is that they are custom molded. I have a big problem with earplugs staying tight and comfortable in my ear, so decibullz really help with that. I also recommend buying the lanyard to connect the two plugs together to avoid losing them!

I've had luck with these Decibullz, they mold to your ears so they're pretty comfortable.

Edit: they also have a headphone version if you want to listen to music.
I like Decibullz. 25 bucks from Amazon for a really high level of protection (says 31dB). They work kind of like a mouthguard, where you put them in hot water and then press them into your ear and leave them there for a few minutes to harden. Mine are super comfortable, I've tried a lot of brands and find myself fucking around with them constantly, where the Decibullz I can put in and they stay in place perfectly.
