I love my Howard Leight Impact Sport electronic shooting muffs. I did a post last year on them at a reduced price and they are again being sold at a good discount. They are $3 more at $34.98 than last year but still a good deal when compared to Walmart, Bass Pro Shop, etc. I paid $49 for my original pair and they are still going strong. All I’ve had to do is change the batteries.
I upgraded them with gel pads like these. They are going for $13.43 which is a little cheaper than last year. They were easy to install and really made the muffs more comfortable while wearing eye protection. If you already have the Howard Leight Impact Sports, I would really encourage upgrading them using these gel pads.
As I have noted earlier, I am an Amazon Affiliate and I will make a small commission if you purchase them from the links above.
I am an Amazon Affiliate but I don’t push it much. I bring this up because I did see some interesting things that I think my readers might be interested in purchasing. In addition, what little bit that Amazon pays me in commission helps to pay my PACER bill as I check out case filings.
First up are Walker’s Shooting Training Protection 29 DB Omni-Directional Microphone Rope Hearing Enhancer Earbuds. They are very similar to the earbuds I have from Axil minus the Blue Tooth connectivity. Given I paid approximately $140 for my Axil GS Extreme earbuds and these are only $49.95, I think this is a good deal. They allow you to amplify background sound for example when out hunting in the woods. Then they automatically cut off when you shoot. They have a NRR of 29 DB.
Staying on the topic of hearing protection, Amazon has a Black Friday deal on Decibullz Custom Molded Earplugs. They are strictly passive hearing protection. They give a NRR of 31 DB which is quite high. I have a couple of pairs that were given to me at the SHOT Show. You put them in hot water for a bit and then you press them into your ear for a custom molded earplug. The normal price is $25.99 but they are on sale for $19.99.
Moving away from hearing protection, I came across the Cold Steel Canadian Belt Knife. It is a copy of the Grohmann’s D. H. Russell Canadian Belt Knife made in Pictou, Nova Scotia. The difference is the rosewood handle is now a molded polymer for the Cold Steel version. I have both the original that I bought in Nova Scotia in 1975 and the Cold Steel version. Instead of paying over $120, the Cold Steel version is on a Black Friday sale for $12.44. I think they would make great stocking stuffers and I intend to buy a couple more to give as gifts. In addition, at this price you can afford to beat it up.
Amazon also has a Cold Steel Karambit Trainer on their pre-Black Friday sale. It is only $8.05. If you own a Karambit, this is a good way to train to use it without the fear of cutting yourself. As I have a couple of Karambit knives, I plan to buy one for myself as well.
These are just a few of the items that are on Amazon’s pre-Black Friday sale. Again, anything you buy that is linked to from this site does generate a small commission for me. I use that money to pay the expenses of keeping the blog going. Finally, this is a good time to take advantage of the 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime. In addition to the 2-day shipping, I use it to watch movies and TV series. Currently, I’m going back now and watching the full Miami Vice series starting from the pilot.
I don’t push my affiliate status with Amazon that much. However, today is Prime Day and they have a lot of deals. Following links from my blog helps generate a little revenue which subsidizes things like the cost of the domain and research on the US court system’s PACER.
I use Amazon Prime for the shipping. More importantly, I use it to watch movies and shows like Jack Carr’s The Terminal List and Jack Ryan’s Tom Clancy.
You can get a trial membership to Prime which is free for 30 days using this link:
I get a little bit of money if you don’t already have Prime and try it out.
I am a big reader and I use my Kindle Paperwhite a lot. An upgraded model is now on sale at 32% off retail. I prefer the Paperwhite as it is easier on the eyes.
Finally, I subscribe to Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited Program. As I said, I read a lot and many books are included within this program. You might be amazed at some of the books that are included. For example, if you plan to hunt dangerous game in Africa such as the Cape Buffalo, you can get the Kindle version of Pierre an der Walt’s African Dangerous Game Cartridges through this program. A hardback copy usually goes for over $100.
If you do plan on shopping at Amazon today, use the embedded links above or the banner at the bottom of this blog. I’ll make a few cents and it will help keep this going.
