i was just curious as to how many folks here use hearing and eye protection when shooting where its not required.
ive never been to a actual range i just shoot on ours and neiboring farms. there for no hearing protection was required so i never used any until the last 6 months or so. my father who is 59 has never used any either. he never shot as much as i do but in the last year or so ive noticed the one word in the english language he uses most is hu or what did you say. so about 6 months ago i decided to start using hearing protection. i still dont use eye protection but probably should.
so i guess the moral of the story is protection actually is required if you want to keep your hearing until old age. im glad i didn't wait until later than 28 to start using them. i know my kids will use them from the start
