No eye protection in an advert for eye care?

Even simpler in an indoor range is having a hot case from the shooter in the next lane ricochet off the lane divider into your eye, ear or down your shirt. Murphy lives, so I wear real safety glasses and double ear protection at the range. I have even seen projectiles from "cowboy" loads bounce off the rubber sheeting 25 yards downrange and hit people in the knees and chest. Only bruises both times, but anything you can imagine can; and at some time will; happen.

You need to wear eye protection. I had a co-worker forced into early retirement because of debris that flew back from a ricochet and lodged in their eye. I've never had a gun blow up, but I've had fragments ricochet back several times. One drew blood on my cheek. They're your only set of eyes. Protect them.

Decades ago a buddy and I used to go shooting in a old cinderblock/concrete dairy barn, WAY the hell out River Road, paralleling the Potomac river, damn nearly W. VA.......near a then full tilt coal fired power plant, owned by the local utility ......
So we be inside using all sorts of old hay bales and assorted crap behind the targets, and of course..... TWICE, there was left over bullet copper jackets come bouncing down the length of our 'range'.....along the wall on the left.....hummmmmm....... |
