Thanks for the tip about the Cabela's electronic hearing protectors. I read the reviews, and they sounded quite positive, and the price was right.
I bought a pair of these last year. The clamp down time and noise reduction isn't bad (I think the perceived noise reduction is a tad bit better than that of my Silencio Falcons), but the audio recovery time is horrible.

The recovery time is a full two to three seconds. That might not seem like much, but when you're engaged in a fast moving exercise, you can miss critical range commands.

I've designated mine as "loaners" to friends while doing nothing more serious than plinking. For serious shooting, I have to cast my vote for the Peltors as well.
