Kodiak-the shock from a Barrett .50 can't be eliminated with a .99 pair of ear plugs. I fail to see why we can't look to the right and the left before firing, and size up the situation. Since more than noise is produced, if an adjacent shooter appears to be unaware of what's about to happen, then we have an obligation to allow that person the opportunity to stand back and feel the effects from an adequate distance before he or she makes the decision to get up close. We owe it to ourselves, others, and the shooting sports in general to be as considerate as possible whenever possible.
