This is an outstanding review. Thank you.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Thanks so much!

[@Nrussell11]

Buying these for grouse hunting. An extra half second of improved hearing when a bird flushes may make/break your shot opportunity

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

I've not hunted grouse since I got them, but I can tell you they work great for pheasants.

[@jonathanhoward1497]

I’d love to see a video on your favorite duck loads, steel, bismuth, and tungston. What it is that you like and why

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Thanks so much Jonathan. I am actually planning a video to that same effect! The tough part is the tungsten category, because that contains so many mixes, blends, alloyed, etc. It's hard to compare thing some time. But it is in my plan.

[@jonathanhoward1497]

@@TheNewHuntersGuide I know shooting that stuff is expensive, and others have shot pattern tests before. I was just hoping for a video on your results and experiences. That way the expense could be bypassed. I really do enjoy your style and delivery for this channel. It’s quite down to earth.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

@@jonathanhoward1497 Thank you sir! Much appreciated. I'm working on it. I am ready to shoot a head-to-head bismuth test in the next couple weeks. Those results will likely play into this bigger overarching video. Thanks!

15:10 THANKS for letting us know that HSA funds can be used! I was about to buy these out of pocket, but I am going to use a bit of my saved up HSA funds instead.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Sure thing! I wish they had these back when I had an HSA.

[@miklm]

@@TheNewHuntersGuide I actually ordered the custom mild ones and used your discount code. Thanks for the review and info!

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

@miklm cool! I think you are going to have an awesome hunting season. Used mine all day at the range today and it was lovely. So comfortable, even on a 90 degree day!

[@miklm]

@@TheNewHuntersGuide You mentioned that you got the molds done at Sam’s Club. The nearest audiologist they (Tetra) list is 2+ hours away but there’s a Sam’s Club locally. How did you get molds done there?

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

@miklm I just made an appointment with the sams club hearing center and went in and said what I wanted. Any hearing place should do it. Tetra definitely only lists a fraction of them on their website

[@joeparsons-ht5dm]

Love the videos! Do you have the waterfowl version or the multipurpose? Hunt a little bit of everything but would be great to buy the 750 version over the 1600 multipurpose. Seems like from this video you’re getting multi game benefits out of the waterfowl version but just wanting to check. Thanks!

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Thanks! I have the multipurpose. But if I had to get just 1, I'd get waterfowl boost, I think its the most version.

[@avidwaterfowler7522]

I need these, badly. I have been using the cheap walkers versions, but they stink. Which exactly did you buy? They start at 700 but go up from there.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

So I got the Multipursuits that were $1500 last year, I think they are $1600 now. I hunt many things though, from ducks to deer to upland game, and lots of turkeys. If you are getting the cheaper ones then I think the Waterfowl one is the best all around. The Tetra's are drastically better than the Walkers.

[@Pontiuspilate666]

Just ordered me a pair, cant wait to try them out.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Awesome! You are going to have a great season with those, no doubt!

[@arkyhunter2750]

Hows the directonal hearing? Can you tell which way a turkey is ?

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Very good. Sitting in a turkey right now and I picked out 3 distant gobblers all in different directions. Hoping one starts getting closer!

[@smoothdahustla9729]

14:26, dude good video but seriously you should have led with that...They cost as much as a good firearm.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

No, it's important for people to understand how important and valuable this is without tuning out when they hear the price. They need to hear whats possible and that they can hunt unhindered. They are also only 1/4 the cost of the comparable hearing aids they will need if they do nothing. To many bird hunters end up with serious issues related to and stemming from hearing loss. The risk of dementia and other diseases increases by 300% for people who lose too much hearing in the middle of their lives. I don't care if people buy Tetra's or not, it's not my company, but the message is one of the most important ones in the hunting world today. I think it's also the most ignored message. People acknowledge firearms safety and even hunting in the water safety, but hearing protection is snickered at. Till they spend fortunes in hearing aids and loose decades of quality of life due to those snickers.

[@tomosgood7581]

Where is the discount code.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Its in the video description. Its NHG2410

[@wizardofahhhs759]

If I'm using a call will that be amplified in my ears?

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Calls sound like normal until you exceed the safe volume threshold at which point the volume is lowered to safe levels to protect your ears. Then as soon as you finish calling, the volume level comes right back to normal levels, all in a split second. I was shocked at how often I was calling too loudly, especially with turkey and goose calls.

[@wizardofahhhs759]

@@TheNewHuntersGuide Great! Thanks for the reply 😊

[@TomL2025]

How much did you pay for yours?

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Back then I think these were $1500 but they were the highest end AlphaSheilds, they started at about $650 back then. The new Custom Shield with blue tooth cost me a lot more. That review is coming next week I think.

[@dancortes3062]

I would be terrified about spending so much money on these and then losing them in the field.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

This is something that is worth it to buy an accidented damage protection plan that covers you for a few years in case that happens..

[@dancortes3062]

@@TheNewHuntersGuide So if you wanted insurance then you would have to spend even more money on a already extremely expensive item. I've already looked into several gunshot cancelling and noise amplifying headsets that are a fraction of the price and would be much harder to accidently loose. I think I would probably just go with those.

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

@@dancortes3062 You gotta do what your budget permits. Just make sure you wear something to protect your ears!
