How close do you get to the shooting before you put on your eye protection?
That is, when you go to the range where other people are shooting (whether a static range where people are standing or sitting & shooting at paper, or an event such as 3-Gun, USPSA, IDPA, trap, skeet, etc), how close do you get before you put on your eye protection?
Only when you get to your firing point or firing line? When you walk into the bay or event "stage" area? When you get out of your car at an outdoor range? When you drive onto the property?
At a recent shooting event one person commented that while a spectator was wearing hearing protection, they weren't wearing eye protection.
So while we all know that the shooter & any immediately close by safety officers, etc. should wear eye protection (let's pretend we all know that,) at what point should spectators & shooters-in-waiting wear eye protection? Is there a distance? Any such objective guideline?
Thoughts?
