wear shooting glasses guys
I was shooting my semi auto .22 pistol today at the range and got hit on the bottom eyelid of my right eye with a spark or whatever you'd call it and I'm not gonna lie. It hurt, not to mention it scared the crap out of me. I'm just thankful it was there and not in my eye.
I'm going to have some of those things before I fire another gun.
I never really thought they were necessary but after today I've decided it's not worth risking it.

I'd be blind right now if I didn't wear safety glasses while shooting, nothing like having a 9mm casehead blow out and shower your face with hot brass and gasses to brighten up your day.

I used to have a shotgun that was getting pretty badly worn and would give you some pretty good backblast about every other shot. I wear prescription eyewear that is shatter proof, so I personally have never really worried about eye protection, but I know what you are talking about. Pistols are the worst, especially older revovlers. They tend to let out a bit of powder blast when they go off and have a tendency to burn your hands from time to time.
