Thus is each shooter fires 10 rounds, they are actually counted as having fired 30 rounds each for hearing. This is a problem wiht your range personnel as they too must be in the count. If I remember correctly, it is 37 rounds single protection and 100 rounds double. Check into it guys and get the figures straight or you will have shooters with the hearing and ear ringing that I have.
One more thing if I may. Wear eye protection and if one is smart he will have his sleeves down and will be wearing gloves. I always used ear plugs and muffs around those things.
