[KillerFord1977]

I need a new lens.

off hand shooting a new bullpup and casings impacted glasses.

Done that myself.

Always eyes & ears, folks.

The three most important things you should bring to the range are ear protection, eye protection, and good judgement.

Safety glasses are a must when using any tool or firearm!

When I was a framer years ago I had a 3-1/4 nail deflect of of an LVL beam when trying to toe nail them together, come back and take a large gouge out of my safety glasses once right in the middle of the lens.

I've also had bits of hot metal fly at me while shooting and bounce off my glasses on quite a few occasions, mostly while shooting cheap .22lr.

I typically double up on earpro also when shooting.

Isn't it unusual for a firearm to do that? I always assumed manufacturer designs prevented this.

Some bullpups are a little different. I’m a southpaw and it was right eject. I was shooting right handed and was a little “off” on the hold ...

Ah, I see.

This simple statement should be posted at the entrance at all facilities. Thanks

And for all of the fancy, upscale ranges with lots of amenities, they would add a fourth probably......earpro, eyepro, good judgement.....and your credit card.
