Listen to music while shooting?

Shooting is like driving a Ferrari, you have to hear the
motor.

I shoot at a private range and alot of the time I'll just turn the stereo up in my truck with the windows down.

I'd rather hear if I have a potential squib or any other malfunction

I've always told a squib from the lack of recoil in the gun, never by the sound as I'm wearing haring protection.

I've never tried it. However, when I shoot, I concentrate so intensely that I stop hearing the gunshots in the lanes next to me, so I doubt very much that I'd get much out of music.

I don't do it. I like hearing the BOOM from my gun or the gun I am renting. Makes the activity more enjoyable to me.

I don't personally.I 've never even thought about it to be honest.I would like to able to hear if their is a round that sounds off orant other malfuction.It has happened to me once.A SKS had bullet that didn't sound right so I checked and the bullet lodged half way down the barrel.If I had music playing that could have been a dangerous situation.It might not be a bad idea as long as your not using noise canceling headphones or keep the volume way down.Or maybe just play it through one ear.

Sometimes....

By myself, or with one of my brothers, outdoors, nothing is more relaxing than classical music and plinking with .22s. You can enjoy the cannon fodder and Cannon in D Major
