I have two issues which decrease my wife's enjoyment at the range. She usually only comes with me 3x a year, but if she was more comfortable I might be able to double that. She DOES enjoy shooting but the eye and ear protection are problematic. I will start with eye protection.
My wife has a small nose...normally a very nice thing to have, except when trying to fit two things on it!My wife wears eyeglasses and cannot wear contacts. When we go to the range it is very difficult for her to keep her safety glasses from falling off her face since the bridge of the safety glasses are nearly on the front tip of her nose. Who makes a decent safety eyewear made specifcally to fit over eyeglasses. Are there any safety goggles that don't look awful? If she looks like an idiot she won't come at all.
Second issue which confounds the first is that my wife has very small ears and ear plugs barely fit in her ear. I am tempted to try cutting one in half, but was wondering if there were other child sized ear plugs available. I want her to be able to wear plugs and muffs at the range. The fact that she will also be wearing muffs means that the safety glasses need to have very small arms so that they are not 1) allowing an air gap for the muffs and 2) are not pressing uncomfortably into her head.
Any ideas?
