    Being an RSO I should use glasses more than I do, but I always use ear protection. I do use glasses and ear both when others are on the range with me, but when alone I neglect my eyes. Not Good!

    I have always used hearing protection, but I too neglect my eyes. It seems like I shot a long time beforeI even thought about using shooting glasses. Even though I should, I just never got in the habit.

    I use hearing protection on the range but nothing while hunting. I normally wear glasses.

    Wearing glasses is one of those things you know should be done but there never really seems to be a good day to start. Although a small burn in the facefrom abusted primer on the range made it came closer, it hasnt made it all the way yet.
    I started using hearing protection when hunting when I got a com radio to connect with them. Quicky found out that the darn things made me hear more of the surroundings.
    This is not my proudest post on the forum.

    i'm also guilty of using neither. the only time i use eye and ear protection is when i am on duty and on the range conducting advanced firearms training or close quarters combat.

    I always use hearing protestion....it would be pretty bad if when I turned 18 I needed a hearing aid.

    I use glasses whenever I shoot my flintlock...lots of burning powder going everywhere.
