Eye and ear protection

All shooting ranges in NSW require shooters to wear eye and ear protection while on the firing line. NSW DPI recommends this level of protection for hunters and recreational shooters in the field as well.

Shooting glasses will protect your eyes from hot gases and burnt powder that may cause injury in the event of an ammunition malfunction.

Hearing loss is permanent yet preventable; almost all firearms discharge is at a noise level that is damaging to your hearing; therefore, hearing protection is recommended.
