I never shoot without specs , I never have even when I didn’t have a prescription. I’ve got a very strong safety culture , having seen some horrible injuries during my working life due to shortcuts with wearing PPE .
Today on a simulated day , on a ( clay ) partridge drive , i was struck by a large piece of clay . It hurt I saw stars , the impact was on the right lens of my purple ZeissSport specs from JH Steward . . I’ve a small cut on my nose where the frame was driven in , and the adjustable bridge was bent . The frames stayed securely on my head , the lens is scraped and scratched , but still secure . I felt sick unloaded my gun left it where it was and left the line . I might have the start of a black eye . However that’s worst thing that’s happened today , and I’ve probably got a £100 bill for new lenses . However without the specs I’d have lost an eye .. sobering thought .
