My Son has gotten me in to shooting with a suppressor. I know that most hunting rounds are not subsonic but is still muffles the sound of the report. For hunting I feel that suppressors are great. I never wore hearing protection while hunting and now I regret it.

I wish I had known about suppressors when I was young. I am waiting for my 300 win-mag suppressor. Its wont make the gun "movie quiet" but it will make it so the gun wont make your ears ring.

Polite people to not want to disturb the neighbors when they hunt/shoot...
