neither. I was thinking about this yesterday too. problem with hearing protection (in the field, I always wear protection at the range) is I feel handicapped. glasses, never thought of that, maybe I'll check into it. anyway, I really heard my 243 bark yesterday when I shot this doe. my ears actually rang for a bit afterward. never had that happen with any of my rifles.

niether for me

I spend a lot of time at the range where I use both. In the field I don't use either.

RE: DO you do it?
 

neither...well, if I remember, sometimes when sighting in I'll wear ear plugs. Just how rare is it to have something get into your eye when shooting?

RE: DO you do it?
 

The results are about what I figured. I only use hearing protection as well. And honestly, the reason is probably the same as most. The chances of an accident happening are very low. And I usually don't have a pair handy, otherwise I would wear them.

:D:D:D:DYou won't know till it happens! I much rather see them and not hear them forever, then to hear them and not be able tosee them forever!:)

RE: DO you do it?
 

Oh i agree! I just wondered if there were any "stats" on the subject. I mean, THOUSANDS of rounds were shot between the few hundred guys I went through basic/AIT with, and no one ever got anything in their eye...had a hot brass or two go down the shirt, but no eye injuries. I planon using both from now on, when target shooting or sighting a gun in. I have2 daughter that have just recently started showing interest in shooting/hunting, and I need to be an example.

RebelHog,
One other thing. I wasn't asking because I wouldn't use it if the "odds" were low (which I'm sure they are), I was just curious.

What are the chances of someone being hit by a train while riding a motorcycle? I don't give a damn, because I GOT HIT.:D

RE: DO you do it?
 

Yes Stone, the chance's are rare and they are low......Do you trust your eye sight to Cartridge Companies and Arms Companies?

Ask the guy that this happen to! How many of these were sold world Wide?
