eye pro

[shootemup]

Just picked up a do-all cowbell target for .22 rifle. i want to get the wife into shooting too. We'll be shooting at 40-50 yds, but i want to keep our eyes safe.......anyone got any suggestions of make/model eye pro ? What are you using ?

Eye and ear protection mandatory. 50 yards should be ok if you are using lead since it will flatten. No jacketed.

Aguila and CCI standard velocity should be gtg ? What about the copper plated hollow point bullets ?

22 bullets don't have a jacket. Even the copper ones are more of a wash than a plating. They will all perform similarly in terms of ricochet.

Any halfway decent polycarbonate safety glases are good enough for shooting. You can find them for less than $5, or more if she wants to be fashionable.

Walmart, harborfreight, or spend a bunch, whatever you want.

Anything marketed as "safety glasses" should be sufficient.

The trick is taking care of them so they don't get scratched to hell.

This is the truth. I use $10 eye protection but I keep them in a case from an old expensive pair of sunglasses.

.22LR on steel at 50yds is GTG. You'd be alright at 25 frankly. Standard shooting glasses will be fine.

Once again, the crew comes thru !!! Thanks guys !! I wasn't sure if I was over thinking this, but being the wife wants to do this, her safety comes first. Besides, I ain't no friggin' WOLVERINE and can't grow an eyeball back !! LOL

I was looking at these....$40.00 is survivable.............................Bolle Rogue Tactical Safety Glasses Kit with Matte Black Frame and Clear Anti-Fog, Yellow and Smoke Lenses

While true that any impact safety rated glasses will work fine, do yourself and your wife a favor and spend just a few dollars more for a good pair of shooting glasse. Thay are rated slightly better for impact, usually have some minor scratch resistance coating on the lenses and taken care of properly they will last for many years. Never take a chance where your eyes are concerned!
I like either the clear or yellow lens glasses for optimum brightness and they work excellent for indoors as well.

I just got a pair of these in the mail the other day...they are going back...............too many gaps around the eye area, and with my luck...............
