After misspent years in my youth hanging around the L105 tank cannon what little hearing I have remaining I guard jealously.

Since I am blind anyway (army doctor when I applied for flight school "With your eyes the only thing you are qualified to fly is a shovel") I always wear glasses.

When at the range before I shoot I always call out to other shooters to put on their eyes and ears, especially indoors.

Have a lens from my Randolph rangers with a chip missing courtesy of a dufus trapshooter using #4 shot

Learned my lesson.

If one of those guys looses sight in an eye at the range, bye bye range
