Good job being pedantic. I don't know how physically disabled you are that putting in earplugs takes you that long. I can do it with my offhand while still looking down the scope. If you're staring down openings in cover, you could already have them in. There's this crazy thing called 'intuition', if i see an animal and am putting on a stalk i can reasonably guess I'm going to be taking a shot and put the earplugs in beforehand. If its a quick encounter I don't mind risking the 1 or 2 seconds it takes to put them in before a shot. If it costs me, oh well, not the end of the world, means I get to keep hunting. But you have fun being that guy nobody likes who always has to say 'WHAT' to everything in twenty years.
