It is amazing how the mind muddles things.... when I first read the above I read..." now 72 my eyes have hardened to safety standards... I must be a little lesdexic.

Some good stuff above, like Philpo I work in Maintenance in the mining industry... safety glasses are a part of every day life for me.

Where I was going with this thread is to find out about brands, tints, shapes, optical charactoristics etc that work and what the problems may be. I have need googling the subject and see that options go fro $5 specials to $1500 jobbies used by competition trap shooters.

I will visit my local shooting supplies shops soon and see what they may have.

As for the stories above, it reminded me about the slug gun pellet ricochet that drew blood on my forehead when I was young...

Thanks for all the good stuff
