When should you wear ear and eye protection?

Only during competitive shooting
At all times when shooting
Only when shooting larger calibers
Only when indoor shooting

The correct answer is: At all times when shooting

Wearing ear and eye protection at all times when shooting is crucial for your safety. Firearms can produce loud noises that may lead to hearing loss, and projectiles or splinters can cause serious eye injuries. This precaution applies regardless of the shooting environment, whether it’s indoor or outdoor, and is essential for all calibers, not just larger ones or in competitive situations. Ensuring consistent use of protective gear minimizes the risk of injury and promotes a safer shooting experience for everyone involved.
