Default Eye pro while shooting?

As title says who follows this 100%. What about while hunting? Target shooting? Gopher shooting? I'd say I use eye pro 100% of the time while target shooting, no exceptions, but while hunting I could definitely get better.

100% of the time, all cases. Need it for riding quad, walking in the bush etc anyhow. Had clear and polarised sunglasses made. Bi-focal prescription for reading in the bottom, clear on top for distance. That way you can wear them all the time you are shooting or other occasions you need eye protection.

I only wear eye protection when shooting handguns. I probably should wear it all the time but don’t. I wear sunglasses shooting clays.

I had an incident with my ears awhile back. I dont want another with my eyes. I am a reloader and I am not perfect, so I make sure I have some eye protection.

Proper shooting glasses for Clay's and target shooting, nothing while hunting.

I don't really think about it since I always wear my CSA-approved prescription safety glasses, without the side shields of course.

I put only while target shooting, it’s morelike anytime I go to the gun range. It’s mandatory for all ranges but I do wear it here and there shooting long range or targets at my spot on crown. Never while hunting, unless it’s sunny out then I wear my sun glasses

Buddy of mine had his eye put out when we were kids. Glasses are a good idea.
