Shooting Eye Protection
When I first began my new hobby of target
shooting, I realized that I would have to purchase all of the
accessories that go with the sport. One of these would be some
type of glasses or goggles needed to protect my eyes. You cannot
go into the gun range without eye protection. So I went to my
local hardware store and bought a few different types of eye
protection. That was a mistake and a waste of money.
Eye Protection at the Shooting Range
I wear prescription glasses when I drive to
correct my far sight vision. I figured I could wear my glasses
beneath whatever our protection I bought for use at the shooting
range. Well, you can do that, but you will look like an idiot.
On my first trip to the gun range I was
told by the
rangemaster I could wear my regular prescription
glasses by themselves, as long as they were not glass and that
they were construction of shatter proof materials. I wish I had
know that earlier. Oh well, I can always use the goggles and eye
shields doing various home improvement projects. Eye protection
is always good to have on hand. You never know when you'll need
it.
I have now been going to the range for over
a year and I am getting serious about the sport. It may be time
to invest the money and purchase a pair of prescription shooting
glasses. Having been hit in the head, in the face, and on all
parts my body by flying ejected shell
casings from the automatic
pistols of the shooters to a standing next to me, I now see why
I protection is so very important. I've also been sprayed in the
face by tiny particles of either gunpowder or blowback when
shooting my own revolvers.
