I always wear eye protection, just a long standing habit. Under certain conditions, any will fog. But, I'm curious, what kind of targets were you shooting to get such a ricochet? Lead pellets are very soft, and I've never had one bounce off anything.

There is some anti fog wipes called Defogit that works. There are several sprays and jells to keep any type of glasses from fogging. I also have had pellets ricochet but not straight back at me. Usually when I shoot something metal or stone. Got to watch those back stops.

I wear these day and night at work. No, really I wear the clear ones at night in the Shaded at during the day. they sit far enough away from my face that they don't sweat and fog. Replacement lenses can be had for about 15 bucks from eBay.

Yep ricochets happen. Shot a padlock once with a 9mm … never did that again … jacket hit me right under my left nostril … damn that burned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But just glad that it didn't hit me in the eye … would have been a very long day!

If you need safety glasses with bifocals and have a Grainger nearby it is a good place to order, and saves you on shipping. At $5 or so a pair you can throw a couple in your gun case, car, etc.

I made the mistake of shooting at a shovel once with a .357 mag. I will NEVER do that again. I actually heard it wiz pasted my ear it was so close!

If you are shooting powder burners at anything less than 500 hardness steel you will have a wake up call sooner or later. This applies to anything you shoot. Mild steel, bowling pins, golf balls, railroad ties I have had them or seen them all spit rounds into people. Pellets usually don't come back with steel but it can occur. I wear Z87 class safety shades whenever shooting any hard targets. 2.50 a pair is cheap insurance for being able to shoot. Be safe folks and copper plated BBs are the worst of all, too slow to splat and hard enough to rebound. Ralph's mom was right, you will shoot your eye out.

Thanks guys for the replies I think most of us have done some things wiwith powderopowderopowde burners or pellet rifles and we say yeah I'm not going to do that again I'm right-handed batting and throwing but write left-handed and shoot left-handed because of a bad right eye amblyopia so if that's not enough to make me wear the glasses that I'm Just a Fool if anything happened to my left eye it would be no more shooting whatsoever so that being said I'm going to put glasses everywhere and try to wear them as much as I can and always always wear them when I'm shooting everyone be safe have a great fall hynzie

I have some spray I bought once when my kids and I were at a paintball match in the rain. It works really well, I'll look to see what it's called tonight when I get home.

Great recommendation. Again if you have a Grainger nearby it is usually overnight shipping from a local warehouse if not in stock at the store and shipping costs you nothing.

If I am looking for something industrial that McMaster carries I look at grainger as well.
