I don't need it. I also know I do need a decent centerfire rifle again. .308 is a bit too much for the type of hunting I'm into. As you should know since you hang out in the Shout Box, I am looking at getting a rifle in .22 caliber such as 5.56mm or .220 Swift. </div></div>

You don't know me from Adam, and it may be you're just trying to get a rise out of folks, but as someone who was a range officer at three public ranges for over nine years and ran a large sporting goods department for a few years, I'd like to offer some advice based on experience:

Unless you were born on Krypton, your eyes and ears are susceptible to damage.

If you have ever had ringing in your ears after a loud noise, you sustained permanent damage to the cillia in your ears. They break off and don't grow back. Certain frequencies go first, but eventually they all go bye-bye. Know how I can identify a shooter who "doesn't need" ear protection? He's the one with the big attractive plastic doohickey in his ear. (Yeah, all the homies think Miracle Ears are the shizznits, don't they.) Hearing is an extremely important sense for a hunter/sniper.

Eyes...you got two and you need both for decent depth perception and peripheral vision, both handy attributes for a hunter/sniper. A face full of hot gasses from a ruptured cartridge or a bullet/pellet/piece of target bouncing back to you (I noticed a distinct disregard for the rule of safe firearm handling which dictates taking into account what is beyond your target, so this is a very real possibility) will turn you into a believer in glasses. I've known three people who lost part or all of the vision in an eye, and none of them were wearing eye protection. You don't have to wear "uncool" goggles...Oakley and Wiley X make shades that protect your peepers <span style="font-style: italic">while</span> you style.

I have witnessed multiple millions of rounds fired from calibers ranging from 22 CBs to 20mm AA rounds. We had a mchine gun shoot at one of the ranges and I was amongst over a dozen Ma Dueces cutting loose at the same time. I've spotted for guys shooting braked 50s from under a roof. (I just about got a nosebleed from that!) I'm 41 but my hearing tests better than most 20 year-olds, because I've always protected it. My optic orbs are in fine shape other than poor distance vision.

Do yourself a favor, and if you're serious about becoming a shooter, listen to those who are shooters. They didn't get where they are by ignoring their mentors.

</div></div>

Sound advice from someone who obviously knows a thing or two about the subject.............too bad he wasted his time typing that up for someone who won't take heed to a single word of it.

So does that mean when you turn 21 that not drinking while shooting won't apply to you ether since you have fetal alcohol syndrome?

You do need a good 308 kid. Find a Marine Corps Marksmanship manual( try searching 'Bigger Hammer' ) and read it until you know all, then apply it. Never doubted you shot what you own either. I'll bet on those clays you can probably outshoot a few here as well </div></div> I have a Serbu BFG-50, one shot is all you need before you realize that not wearing ear pro is a big mistake!!!!
 
Re: You all have been bugging me long enough!

With my level of hearing loss, anything .223 and above sounds the same to me.

Even though you don't "notice" the difference, your ears do! What are you going to do when you are totally deaf and you can't hear your child talk to you? You still think you don't need eye protection too? Want to see your kid grow up, or are you cool being the dumbass that lost his sight due to his own stupidity? How about being blind and deaf.......don't be a selfish prick, take care of yourself for your kid(s) they might prefer a dad who can see and hear.

Re: You all have been bugging me long enough!

Maser are you one of those teens who walk around the mall sucking a binky and wearing girl pants? I saw that for the first time in my life a few months ago. I was so dumbfounded I couldn't even tell my wife to look. When I was growing up if a kid did something as gay as that he'd find himself locked up in a dumpster with a few extra bruises to take home. What the Fuck is going on here?????

Re: You all have been bugging me long enough!

My older brother also has hearing loss. But not from shooting without protection. From his choice of volume for the "music"/trash that he has always listened to. Part that made me mad was that he didn't like headphones so everyone could have the full benefit.

Hearing loss is permanent. It may be a very, very small amount at any time but is best avoided.

Re: You all have been bugging me long enough!

Hearing loss is a preventable issue. It is also accumulative with the amount of harmful noise you experience over time.
Eye loss, well that one is permanant so wearing eye pro while shooting works. You ever get hit with a rock or anythign else for that matter in your eye pro, yo will fully understand the impact of wearing it

yeah, I know...

Re: You all have been bugging me long enough!

I have a photo buried somewhere of some older plastic shooting glasses. while shooting silhouette competition, this person was hit on the right lens with the base of a jacketed round at the 50 yard line. He was shooting a 30 caliber handgun in the open sight category, so it was like a 140 gr 30 cal anywhere in power from a 30 whisper to a 308. It was ten years ago, so I don't remember.
Anyway, the base of the bullet came off after striking the steel chicken, and flew back to the shooter, like a tiny frisbee and sawed into the eye protection.
His head snapped back like he had been slapped
He took off the glasses and set them on the table. After the line was safe, the high school students who were score keeping, trooped by to look at the result. The copper base was sawed/melted into the lens of the protection, at exactly pupil location. It stuck out 90 degrees from the surface of the lens. He was pale as a ghost for 30 minutes after that. Quite a lesson, and no harm.
It happens.
Everyone has seen the video of the guy getting smacked by a .50 BMG round after shooting it at a target at 100 yds. he got lucky.
It happens.
People who have lost some of their hearing when they could have done something about it are being dumb shits. Plain and simple.
firefights can't be helped, but any range time, well, not using eye and ear pro is just stupid.
Maser is not the only idiot out at the range, and I leave when that type shows up. I prefer to find an isolated area to shoot, so I don't have to put up with idiocy. I live in the mountains, so I can avoid these type of people.
The sort of indiscriminate shooting I saw on the part of the video I watched (I clicked it off. It sucked), along a power line right of way? Sheer stupidity. No excuse. Irresponsible, almost criminal. Deserves to have his firearm taken from him on the spot, and himself put in the corner in time out until a later date. Way later.

Re: You all have been bugging me long enough!

Maser, I find myself amazed that you even made it to 20.
 
Re: You all have been bugging me long enough!

I may have a low post count, but that does not necessarily imply that I am a beginning shooter. I am no professional by any means, but I've been safely sending lead downrange since I was old enough to hold a rifle. From what I have observed in your video, I have already accrued more experience with firearms than you ever will. You really should listen to what some of the others here are saying. They're right.

Why would anyone post a video of themselves stoned with a huge zit and the music louder than his voice? That's almost more stupid than the first video.

You were a man when you were thirteen? How are you defining man? Were you a man at thirteen and at some point before you were twenty you stopped being a man?
