Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important safety gear for a firearms range?

The most critical safety gear for a firearms range includes both eyewear and earwear. Eyewear protects your eyes from ejected casings or debris, while earwear is essential to prevent hearing damage from the loud noise of gunfire.

What type of earmuffs does John G. Johnson recommend for the range?

John G. Johnson recommends Walker brand earmuffs, specifically mentioning both their standard 22-decibel low-profile models for general use and their electronic Walker Razor Patriot model for enhanced communication and situational awareness.

How can I protect my eyes on the range if I wear prescription glasses?

If you wear prescription glasses, you can use 'cover glasses' or 'over-glasses' safety eyewear. These are clear lenses designed to fit over your existing prescription glasses, providing necessary impact protection without hindering your vision.

What are the advantages of electronic earmuffs over standard earmuffs?

Electronic earmuffs amplify ambient sounds, allowing you to hear conversations and range commands clearly, while still suppressing sudden loud noises like gunfire. This enhances situational awareness and communication, which standard earmuffs do not provide.
