Eye protection

[tankerman]

I have no problem with people who enter our range without hearing protection. Going deaf isn't an immediate process and I won't have to clean up any mess or make any emergency phone calls.

If I see any shooter without eye protection in the range, he or she will get yelled at immediately........the same amount of time it takes to lose an eye.

If I see them without eye protection again in the same visit, they get invited to come out of the range to read the rules.

If you've never been hit in the glasses by flying brass, you either aren't shooting a semi-auto or haven't been shooting long.

Deafness is immediate if I shoot my ported 454 next to the guy.

Outdoors I wear my Oakleys and indoors my perscription glasses.

They are a neccessity.

my Rx glassses proably saved my eve from being burned today. There was a dude with his daughter shooting a mini-14 to the left of me and I stood up to grab somthing out of an ammo can when a .223 shell came flining over at me and hit the rim of my glasses.... not my eye

I always wear eye protection when shooting. Unfortunately, as I've gotten older I find myself having to use eyewear off the range and well as on. I use Oakleys when shooting. They make prescription lenses for the M frames, so no problem trying to fit shooting glasses over my prescription lenses.

I cought a ricochet fragment in the forehead because I happened to be looking down. If I'd been looking up and not wearing glasses, I'd be a pirate for halloween every year. Hell...I'm already half deaf(60% loss) in my right ear from shooting without plugs one day.

Now I wear eyes and ears ALWAYS!

If you shoot matches using steel plates you become a fast learner especially when witnessing a person get a piece of frag inbedded in their face.

Eye protection is good!

I agree with wearing eye protection as I've been hit in the face from another's person's fragmented shots while at the range. Sometimes, the bullet fragments go everywhere. And I can't tell you how many times I've been hit in the head with shells.

I've tried a number of prescription sunglasses including Oakley M Frames. I've recently started using Rudy Projects and they're by far the best I've tried in terms of build quality, comfort and quality of the lenses.

i dont like wearing eye protection, because i dont have any good ones, and i hate the bulky kind they rent at the range, but prolly by the next time i go shooting i am going to buy some nice ones that fit more like sunglases, i never shoot without ear protection hurts my head, especially if u have ever shot at the lincon range, the roof is only like 9 or 10 feet tall and it is really loud there.

Up untill today I wore sunglasses when I had them on but now it will be any time I shoot
After pulling a couple small pieces of brass out of my nose I looked at the freshly ejected case from my 416 Rem and noticed the bottom had blown out in a few places
Saftey glasses are important!!

They would not let you shoot without glasses at my local range.

I swear by Oakleys. This pair saved my eye from x54 shrapnel, the rest of the shrapnel went into my face, arm and hands.
The M44 double fed and tapped a round off when not chambered, blew the rifle and me sky high.

Here you can see the lenses, the damage to me and the back of the case that was pulled out of my hand, the bullet is flatnosed because it was pushed out of the barrel with a cleaning rod later.

Oakley has a good government program if you guys are interested. As for Wiley Xs, my unit bought a whole bunch, they are a LOT cheaper than oakleys so oakley missed out on several million$$$ of gov contract but also, they are a bit -cheaper, as in design, fit and quality. I really dont like the Wiley Xs I got.

stay safe.

M44 double feed!?! You are either really lucky or really unlucky, I'm not sure which.

[NSR500]

I've been using my Prescription glasses under some real generic range type stuff. Now that I have contacts I'd like to step up to some Wiley-X, does anyone know who carries Wiley-X in the NorCal Bay Area?
