Safety gear:
-
Hearing protection: If you don’t like the complimentary cheap earplugs – you can bring any 26+ dB earmuffs (available at Amazon).
-
Eye protection: If you don’t wear optical glasses, safety glasses are required (also available at Amazon) – You can purchase fancy shooting glasses, but I personally shoot with the cheapest “yellow” glasses from Home Depot and do not care if I damage them.
-
You can purchase basic hearing and eye protection at the range for a very reasonable price.
