    Just a heads up on using the ear protectors. I tried the ones my dh uses when shooting. One kind worked well and one kind didn't. The orange ones that Walmart sells that have one rounded end and one flat end do not work!!! When you push a pin in, it starts to collapse inward. The hexagon shaped ones (don't know where they came from) did seem to work OK. So, just be careful what you buy and maybe only buy one package to test before buying a ton of them if this is the way you want to go.

    I have been using erasers from the dollar store cut into small cube. The rubber is dense and the pin stays in it. This caulking stuff looks good too.

    That's a great idea. I have been using a container of foam earplugs leftover from my "biker chick" days.
