What's your eye pro preference?

[Jimmy's]

I don't think so. I think it's the reality we live in, sir. Overthinking is a bullet button. Eyes and ears are common sense... You said so yourself!

I'm gonna feather the throttle and let you win!

Ahah... Well just both agree to nip this convo... This line could be tapped... Check the lights for bugs!!

Not wearing eye pro while shooting is like not wearing a rubber in Subic City. Sure , you can do it to be cool , but screaming in the head is no joke.

Let's play devils advocate here:

If it's common sense to wear protection, what if it was the law? What if the court could press negligence against you if didn't wear eyes and ears in a self defense situation?

It's probably not far off of a near reality with the way things are going.

Like seat belts. They make us safer but if we want to drive unsafe it's against the law.

I just use the prescription eyeglasses I wear every day. I was under the impression that's adequate.

I used to as well. Now I don't.

This is pretty much mandatory reading:

I personally don't wear eye protection. I also don't wear ear protection unless I'm indoors.

Just yesterday at the range I got hit in my glasses by one of my own ejected casings. Left a ding in my right lense just a little above my pupil. If I didn't have glasses on I'd have lost my right eye.

I use Oakley radar path with a photo chromatic lense. It's good for both indoors and out doors. They fit my fat face well. I wouldn't have bought this myself but I'm glad I got it as a gift from my wife.

The first time you have a piece of brass cut your nose from an out of battery detonation you will never shoot without eye protection.

ESS Crossbow Supressors with MSA Sordin Supreme Pro X muffs with gel seals. The combination of flat temple arms and gel seals is unbeatable. No fogging problems whatsoever.

Those suppressors really are dynamite.

I've been shooting without eye/ear protection ever since I learned how to shoot. It's been over 10 years and I'm still fine. I don't recommend not wearing ear and eye pro, but this is just my preference.

[VampiressRN]

When I shot over 20 years ago, I did not wear glasses. Now that I have glasses, I may need to buy a different style. Those Pilla look nice but pricey.
I am cognizant of safety, so not planning on shooting without. Great stories about why you should wear them.

Snap on safety glasses with built in ear plugs. Literally the envy of all my friends. Perfect, two birds with one stone.
