    When shooting they wear adjustable shooting jackets, leather slings and a padded fingerless glove. Shooting glasses are required unless they wear prescription. We only shoot prone. Most sight themselves in with spotting scopes but it is legal for coaches to do that or have them make corrections. I hate shooting that way. It's painful. I give the kids a lot of credit for doing what they do. No one gets to watch them compete so not a lot of glory unless they beat the arch rival schools. The football team hasn't won in four years so since we win matches, they do at least get some attention and respect.

    Just as an aside note. All prescription glasses manufactured and sold in the US have to be shatterproof and in fact on the same or better level of safety shooting glasses. The only time I would be concern if the glasses do not completely cover the eye like the old "granny" glasses. I a lot of times, shooting ranges will try and squeeze every last dollar out of you by making you buy their shooting glasses.
