Description
The Peltor Sport Shotgunner II is built around a straightforward problem: shotgun shooting generates impulse noise — the sharp, high-peak pressure spikes that are particularly damaging to hearing — and standard flat-profile earmuffs can interfere with a proper cheek weld and gun mount. The Shotgunner II addresses this with a low-profile cup design that keeps the earcups out of the way of the stock, so the shooter can mount the gun cleanly without the ear protection working against the mechanics of the shot.
The 24 NRR rating reflects how much attenuation the cups provide under standardized test conditions. That figure matters in practical terms: it is enough to bring the peak of a shotgun blast down to a manageable level while still allowing normal range conversation between shots, since the cups are passive — they attenuate all sound proportionally rather than cutting off sound electronically.
The fixed single-band headband keeps the design simple and the profile consistent. There are no moving parts to adjust mid-session, and the band holds the cups against the head at a consistent pressure. The black and gray colorway uses 3M Peltor’s own finish rather than any aftermarket coating. This is a purpose-specific piece of gear from a manufacturer with a long record of supplying this same model to institutional buyers in quantity — it is not a general-purpose earmuff that happens to fit around a stock, but one designed from the cup geometry outward for the specific geometry of a shooting stance.
