Eye & Ear Protection

At Southdown Gun Club, we understand that safety is paramount when enjoying shooting sports. That’s why we offer a comprehensive selection of ear protection devices suitable for men, women, and kids. Whether you prefer simple in-ear plugs or advanced electronic over-the-ear headsets, we have options tailored to your specific shooting activities and environment. For enhanced protection, you can even combine in-ear and over-ear devices.
Equally important is eye protection. Safety glasses for shooting are essential PPE to shield your eyes from potential hazards. When shooting clays, debris from shattered targets can be propelled back toward you, risking eye injury. Additionally, residue from gunfire may irritate your eyes. Firearm malfunctions or ruptures, although rare, can also pose eye safety risks.
We stock top-quality hearing and eye protection from some of the world’s leading personal protection brands, including:
– Beretta 
– Riley 
– Swatcom 
– Pilla 
Visit us at Southdown Gun Club to find the perfect safety gear to keep you protected and focused on your shooting experience.
