3M Peltor ShotGunner II Folding Hearing Protection Earmuff - Black - 97040-PEL-6C - UPC: 051125005647
Product Description
The 3M Peltor ShotGunner II (97040-PEL-6C) is a low-profile passive hearing protection earmuff engineered specifically for long-gun target shooters, clay sports competitors, and hunters. Designed with tapered low-profile ear cups, the ShotGunner II minimizes stock interference during cheek weld, allowing shooters to maintain a natural, repeatable mount with shotguns and rifles without pushing the ear cup off seal.
Featuring a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 24 dB, these passive earmuffs attenuate harmful muzzle blast noise while providing all-day comfort. The soft, liquid/foam-filled ear cushions conform around eyeglasses and safety eyewear to preserve a tight acoustic seal without creating excessive pressure points. A padded, adjustable headband distributes weight evenly across the head, ensuring stability during active shooting courses or long range sessions.
Designed for maximum portability and field convenience, the ShotGunner II features a compact folding headband design. The ear cups collapse inward into the headband ring, shrinking the total footprint for easy storage in range bags, backpack pockets, or gun cases. Built with 3M's proven acoustic dampening technology, the 97040-PEL-6C is a reliable, lightweight hearing protection solution for outdoor ranges and clay fields.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Stock Clearance & Eyewear Fitment Matrix:
• Primary Application: Shotgun clay sports (Trap, Skeet, Sporting Clays), rifle marksmanship, and indoor/outdoor firing ranges.
• Stock Clearance: Tapered bottom ear cup profile prevents bump-off against comb of shotgun/rifle stocks.
Staging & Care Steps:
1. Adjust the wire headband arms symmetrically until ear cushions completely enclose both ears.
2. Ensure safety glass temples sit flat against the head; consider gel ear cushion upgrades if wearing thick-stemmed eyewear.
3. Collapse cups inward into the headband center for compact storage in range bags.
4. Wipe down ear cushion surfaces with mild soap and warm water after use; avoid harsh chemical solvents on acoustic foam liners.
