Suppressors on hunting rifles??

[1lessdog]

I have a Banish 30 suppressor on a 22 Creedmoor and when shooting around tree there is still a lot of noise with a echo. And AR bolt 300 Blackout shooting subsonic and lots of echo with that also.

Did a remote elk hunt this year. A guy showed up with a silencer. It wouldn't fit in their rifle scabbard. He had to unscrew and screw it back on every time he got on and off his horse.

My dad was 87 when he bought his first one. I bought one the same day in my 50's. My dad is near totally deaf. The hearing aids work on for him very little at this point. He grew up shooting on a farm in the mid west. Continued shooting his whole life. Not sure as to what protection was available to him. I use plugs and muffs and at 58 my hearing is not what it should be. So no matter what if it help the shooter and the people around them use it. Even with a suppressed gun I use both pugs and muffs now.

Plus when you shoot an elk at 100 yards the herd stand there for another shot if you have a second tag or your wife shoots first .
