Why is it important to wear eye and ear protection when shooting?

To look professional
To improve accuracy
To prevent injury
To avoid distractions

The correct answer is: To prevent injury

It is important to wear eye and ear protection when shooting to prevent injury. Safety should always be the top priority when handling firearms. Both eye and ear protection help to minimize the risk of harm, such as hearing loss or debris from the gun getting into the eyes. Options A and D may seem appealing, however, they are not valid reasons for wearing protective gear. Looking professional and avoiding distractions should not be prioritized over safety. Option B, while it may seem logical, is not the main purpose of wearing eye and ear protection. Accuracy can be improved through proper training and technique, but safety should always come first.
