The CA Dept. of Justice has ruled that eye AND ear protection are "advised" and a shooting range where the shooters are members or guests, open to the public can not be told they have to use them! I found that quite strange and at our range in Dulzura we say over the loud speaker "eye and ear protection strongly recommended", been doing that for a couple years now. We also pay for range safety officers to attend the NRA RSO school and the RSO's wear a bright orange vest with a name tag. One is the Lead RSO and his/her commands are the law.

One thing we do once a year is host an open house in the evening with a cook out of burgers and hot dogs and then as it is getting dark we demonstrate various kinds of firearms. Myself and two others are the muzzle loader folks, also high power with a .338 Lapua Magnum, shotguns and several hand guns. Once in a while one of the teenagers will take their ear muffs off for one shot and then pop them right back on.
