With all the different types of ear protection available its sometimes hard to tell if someone has in-ear protection or nothing at all. I agree with everyone else that he did nothing wrong.

Flip the script for a second, do you think you are obligated to stop firing every time someone new steps into the range? Is it your responsibility as a shooter to make sure that newcomers have eye and ear protectant at such a place or is that just implied/at their own risk?

Well we are supposed to be our brothers keepers right? I usually check to make they ready for me to fire. AND as I stated earlier I stop firing till they are ready. BUT THEN that is just me. Not really an issue. I was just curius about what you all thought.

If I notice a guy showing up to the line without earpro on I'll normally yell at him to put his ears on before I start back up shooting, but I wouldn't expect others to do the same thing.

I make sure they have their ear-gear off before I fire, that way they can hear how awesome I am. If they are already wearing protection, then I will move my lips like I'm directly to them. Then they take them off to hear what I'm saying..I fire.

I guess I got to be different but to me a little greeting and "Hey Bud, I fixen to bust a few off if you want to get ready" sure wouldn't hurt anything..I know that's the way I would have handled it..Just me I guess.
