Look after your eyes!! This is what happened to me not wearing suitable eyewear - albeit in different circumstances.

Cheers Blakep! Now we know it is only £40'ish to save teeth and eyesight. I like the analogy of the hit from a bumblebee feeling like a
golfball!

I use a cheap fulll face bike helmet. (Still its ACU Gold Stamped) Stops all those little stones that sting the face.
Rarely use glasses, although I have some WILEY X ones, whihc I think are very good, even though they are expensive.

I have some Wiley x SG1s for when I need stuff to not get at my eyes.
not even remotely cheap, but the lenses can handle more than I need (i shot a spare one with my .177 air rifle, very, very little damage, certainly
would save sight in that situation)
I'd still use a proper lid in a locost mind.

Wiley XL1 get my vote. Helmets provide greater protection but impede peripheral vision partcularly if you are stapped in properly. In the end I went
for a full screen with my new kit.
