With all of the videos of people doing it wrong, it's nice to see that someone is doing it right.

He's doing two things I haven't got the stones to try.

1.  No ear protection.
2.  No eye protection.

 I can hear it coming........... "What's the big deal?  Nothing happened."  

That time.   It only takes once for blind, and deaf is cumulative.  Not a good thing to teach the young'uns.

Fwiw.....

Re hearing and eye protection... I don't. I have been shooting and hunting since I was 17, I am now 70. Granted, shooting a 300 Win mag at a range one would certainly wish to use some ear protection, especially if the shooting was done under a covered firing line. That said...with muzzleloading I feel it is up to the individual. Never yet have I seen or heard of anyone who was hunting wearing any ear protection, nor eye protection while hunting. While at a range, I believe it is optional. Can something happen...I suppose.....one can get hit with a car crossing a street...but people do it every day. I truly fail to see the need for all this "safety" stuff. If someone wishes to wear it...fine. The main reason why and how all this got started, imo, was the insurance angle. Period. For all the years folks have been using muzzleloaders...hunting, shooting matches...you name it...from the time this country was settled....they never has hearing protection..eye protection...I guess there might have been some that did...but overall....I doubt it. Seems to me...most if not all of this safety stuff originated because of people like Nader and his kind.

Just my two cents.....

As for me, I will continue to wear hearing and eye protection while shooting and hunting.

But, I agree - hearing protection and eye protection should be optional, just like helmets and seatbelts.

If adults want to lose their sight and hearing and ... lives for that matter, they should be allowed to. I mean, we don't prevent people like Eval Kneival and these bungee divers and other extreme sport folks from doing what they do - taking your life in your hand should be a personal choice.

I just hope my tax dollars don't help pay for the surgeries and hearing aids and so forth when things don't go all the way.

Then there's always the 'benefit' of the "Darwin Award" effect: http://www.darwinawards.com/

DITTO  :!:

In "my day" ear protection was not the norm ( US Army, LEO etc.) In fact I remember sticking "cig butts in my ears, when they started "hurting"
