[QUOTE="Wobblyshot1, post: 3769242, member: 9066"] I wear eye glasses and sometimes safety glasses over them but I'd recommend eye protection for all shooting anyway. You'll hardly notice the pan flash if you follow basic marksmanship rules...that is, keep your focus on the sights and don't anticipate the flash. Many also assume the ignition of a flintlock is slow. Modern timing tests have shown that while it will measure slower that the caplock, that difference in ignition speed cannot be perceived by the human mind. This is an excellent site showing some of these test with many neat slo-mo videos: [url=http://www.blackpowdermag.com/]http://www.blackpowdermag.com/[/url] [/QUOTE]
