Safety glasses

[Goodwin81]

Folks also obsess about wearing a cartridge mask while casting as well. I don't go that far as I use proper ventilation, however for what it's worth, I do wear safety glasses. I'd hate to loose an eye and not be able to shoot. Each to their own I guess.

Sometimes the CSA squint is good enough. Sometimes not.

My guess is it’s a combination of things unrelated to safety.

These are the most self-sufficient guys you’re ever going to come across, so you can expect they’ll want to make their own safety decisions, rather than be told what to do.

“You do you, I’ll do me” sort of thinking.

Don’t misinterpret as them saying safety is bad. Being lectured on safety is what they likely think is bad.
Probably exacerbated by the whole mask thing.

This is probably the most succinct explanation of how I feel about our risk-adverse society. Thank you
