“We sincerely want to thank Guns & Ammo for this award, we are both humbled and honored” said Dickinson, TETRA CEO and co-founder. “Our products provide a high-end circuitry system, giving our customers premium technology with a premium hearing experience for all endeavors.”
Products were evaluated and discussed by the Guns & Ammo editorial staff during the Outdoor Sportsman Group’s annual Roundtable and several individual events held throughout the country within the last 12 months.
The criteria for the award was that it must have been new and available for purchase in 2019, it must demonstrate quality and reliability, and exceed its design objective.
“The AlphaShields are electronic hearing protection that offers alot of value to the customer,” said Tom Beckstrand, Rifles and Optics Editor of Guns & Ammo. “What makes it great is that it doesn’t amplify all the noises around you, it only amplifies the sounds that you need.”
