At my range, eyes and ears are part of the rules. We're a private range with no day shooting.

I would have found range staff and explained to them the situation. I'd have spent the 50 cents each to buy them a pair of ear plugs, but if they refused would have asked that the rules of the range be enforced.

I'm not going to lose an opportunity to shoot (since they can be rare) and I'm not going to shoot a centerfire (or likely even a .22) next to somebody without hearing protection. So the only option is to ask my range staff and owners to enforce the rules, in my opinion.
