Creek Henry thank you for the chart. Not trying to be a kill joy, but I have a question(s).

Did you happen to see were the measurements were taken? The sound pressure will be louder forward of the muzzle than from the shooters head.

Could you provide me with the source so I can do some research?

For those of you who are interested, you can now determine what your exposure is by subtracting the NRR of your plugs/muffs from the Creek Henry chart. Refer to post 70 for a more detailed explanation.

Once again thank you for the chart.
