Sporting clays is all about precision, focus, and skill—but before you start breaking clays, let’s talk about something just as important: safety. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, protecting your hearing and vision should always be a top priority.
Why Ear & Eye Protection Matter👂 Hearing protection is a must – Gunshots can be over 140 decibels—that’s louder than a jet engine! Without protection, just one round could cause permanent hearing damage.
👀 Your eyes need protection, too – Clays breaking and flying debris can be a real risk. Wearing safety glasses ensures your eyes stay sharp and focused on the next target.
Choosing the Right Gear
✔️ Earplugs or earmuffs? – Both work, but earmuffs provide better overall protection and are a great option for beginners.
✔️ Glasses – Clear, yellow, or tinted lenses all help enhance visibility while keeping your eyes safe from stray fragments.
Safety First, Fun Always
At Etowah Valley Sporting Clays, we take safety seriously—because the only thing better than breaking clays is doing it safely and confidently.
