The history of shooter eye protection begins with the development of safety glasses in the early 1800s. Glasses were initially developed to protect workers from being blinded by combustible materials such as coal, oil and gas. By the late 1800s, shooters had come to rely on shooting glasses for their safety while engaged in firearms use. There was a time when Shooter Eye Protection (SEP) products were not common or available to most people. However, over time SEP products have become more popular and are now considered essential equipment for shooters. There are many types of SEP products available on the market today, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. One of the most popular types of SEP is single-use eyeglasses that allow you to shoot without fear of losing your vision. These type of eyeglasses have been around for many years and are often seen as a necessary part of any shooting arsenal. Someadvantages to using single-use eyeglasses include being easy to clean and maintain, providing good visibility during gunfire and helping protect your eyes from physical abuse or injury during outdoor activities such as hunting or target practice. Another type of SEP product is repellent eye shields that help reduce exposure to debris, dust, dirt and other potentially harmful particles inside a room where gunfire is taking place. These types of shields can be attached directly onto firearms barrels or frames, making them difficult (if not impossible) to remove should they become dirty or damaged after use. Additionally, these devices can also provide some degree level protection against projectiles fired into your eyes by other shooters in close quarters combat situations). Some disadvantages associated with repellent eye shields include their potential limited range when used towards specific targets or individuals (due to their design), their high costuming required for use (typically requiring full face gear), and instances where they may inadvertently fall off firearm barrels or frames during use!
Shooters need to protect their eyes from harm. Eye protection is important because it can prevent injury and help shooters stay safe while shooting. There are many types of eye protection, some of which are better than others. The best type of eye protection for shooters is a full-face shield. Full-face shields offer the most coverage and protect the most areas of the face. They are also the most expensive, but they provide the best level of protection. Another good option for shooters is an ocular protector– an eyewear device that fits over your eye and provides both filtering and vision obstruction while you shoot. Ocular protectors can be more affordable than full-face shields and have less coverage around your face, but they still offer good levels of protection in terms of shielding your eyes from harm. There are other types of eye protection that may be helpful for certain shooter professions or goals such as protecting against bright light or glare while shooting, reducing fatigue after hours spent firing firearms, or providing additional warmth to the individual's eyes during cold weather operations. However, no one type ofeyeprotection will work well for everyone when shooting firearms in any given situation so it is important to find what works best for you before purchasing any type of eyewear.(1)
Oswego, Illinois was the first city in the United States to enact legislation mandating safe eye protection for all workers. The ordinance became law on October 25, 1912.
Oswego is a city in and the county seat of Oswego County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,844 at the 2010 census. It was founded by General James K. Polk in 1849 as part of the Chicago Purchase. Oswego is located in central Illinois on the Ottawa River just south of its confluence with the Des Plaines River. The river forms the eastern border of Oswego County and forms most of its western boundary. The city lays out a grid plan that conforms to Chicago's streetcar system, which made it an important passenger town during the early 20th century. From 1889 to 1912 Oswego served as one of two cities within Cook County, Illinois; after Cook became a state in 1911, it lost this status and Ogden took over as its new county seat. The first European settlers in what became Oswego were French Canadians who arrived from Quebec City in 1763 as fur traders looking for land to sell back home. They named their community "La Châtelaine" (meaning "the castle"). A post office was established at La Châtelaine on November 12, 1848,[1] and remained open until 1893.[2] In 1849 General James K. Polk called together representatives from Illinois, Indiana Territory (later Missouri), and Canada to purchase 3 million acres (12 km2) of land east of Chicago for $4 million—the largest single gift ever given away by United States President John F Kennedy.[3] This area lay between present-day Skokie and Columbia Heights on Lake Michigan; today much of that area is annexed by neighboring Milwaukee.[4][5] The town site chosen for La Châtelaine had been surveyed by Captain Pierre Le Moyne de Nemours some years earlier while he was commandant general of infantry at Fort Dearborn[6][7] American settlement began with about 125 pioneers arriving here September 22nd 1850 under Captain Hinsdale[8][9][10], but rapid growth prevented any permanent settlements being established until October 25th when 2 wagonloadsrived here under Captains Cahoonand Hinesfrom Decatur IL en route to Wabash IL where they were joined by 10 more pioneers from Moline IL led by Captain John Pfeiffer who had recently come west from St Louis MO
Until the late 1800s, shooters used a variety of methods to protect their eyes from projectile hazards. One common method was to wear goggles or other eye protection while shooting. However, due to the hazard of ricochets and other projectiles hitting one’s eyes, many shooters found it necessary to use more advanced methods such as Monocular Protection Devices (MPDs) and Paper-Cloth Glasses (PCGs). In 1865, John Browning patented his design for the first MPD. This device consisted of a piece of cloth stretched over one’s left eye and worn around the neck. The purpose of this invention was twofold: First, Browning believed that shooters would be less likely to hit their head on objects within range when wearing an MPD; second, he thought that PCGs would reduce the chances that projectiles would enter one’s eye directly from behind. In 1883, Nicholas-Jacques Conte developed a PCG which consisted of two pieces of cloth placed over each other so that they formed a perfect ‘eyeball’ protecting both your vision and hearing while shooting. Unfortunately, these devices were not commonly adopted until after World War II when they became increasingly important in artillery sniper roles.
The first shooters to wear eye protection were probably the Mayas in Mesoamerica. They likely wore glasses or eyeglasses as part of their religious ceremonies and warfare. The Aztecs also started wearing eye protection around this time, but it was not until the 16th century that firearms began to be used seriously by Europeans.
Oswego is a small town in the northwest corner of Illinois, on the upper Mississippi River. The population was 7,895 at the 2010 census. It is part of the St. Louis metropolitan area, and is one of the three villages forming Clinton Township in Clinton County. The first European to see Oswego was a French trader named Pierre-Jacques Marquette in 1679. He named it after his native village of Oudonville in Normandy. The first permanent settler in Oswego was George Washington in 1774. Washington arrived with his family as part of a party led by Captain John Butler and Major Ebenezer Richardson from New England's Plymouth Colony on their way to join General James Clark's army fighting against France near the mouth of the Missouri River. They were welcomed by local Indians who gave them food and shelter until they could find horses and wagons enough to journey farther downriver. The first school was built in 1819–20 by teachers from nearby Grayslake Township and opened forindering day under instruction from Reverend David Denton (the "Father" of American education). Classes were held each morning before services at Grayslake Baptist Church until 1827, when classes were moved to Oswego School House until 1830; then back to Grayslake for about two years before moving again, this time permanently to Oswego School House during 1835–36; finally using various log buildings on South Main Street until 1840 when a new brick building was erected which still serves as the town hall today. In addition to these schools, there were also several private schools that operated throughout most of 19th century: well into 20th century some such as Oak Hill Academy remain operational while others have been converted into modern day apartments or businesses In 1851 Orville Kneeland founded what would become Grayslake Village just south of what is now OsweGO Elementary School – later renamed Park View – where he set up a grocery store, post office, hotel/motel and other businesses including an operable gristmill that furnished flour for many early US towns such as Peoria (later Peoria Heights), Normal (laterNormal Heights), Bloomington (later Bloomington Heights) and Decatur (later Decatur Heights). Kneeland died suddenly during 1860s construction along I-64 just north of present day Grayslake Village & Park View so no record exists verifying development beginning there but it likely did In 1904 came what would be known as "The Great Migration" which saw over 50% increase in population within five years due largely to railroad construction — primarily Chicago & Northwestern Railroad which constructed tracks through rural areas across Illinois creating large Wakefield Farms area just east & south of Oswego migrations continued thru World War II with increased numbers coming during wartime industries such as aluminum production After WW2 ended things slowed considerably with few new arrivals until Boomtown era began around 1970s when larger influxes occurred due mainly to military service members already here or newly relocated
Oswego was founded in 1812 by Abram Oswego, a Loyalist from New York. The town was named for the overlooking hills near where it was located. Oswego grew rapidly due to its location and became an important trading post on the Illinois River. In 1836, the Town of Oswego seceded from Cook County and formed its own government. In 1847, Oswego became part of the newly created state of Iowa. AfterIowa were admitted to the Union in February 1861, Oswego remained within Nebraska until it joined that state in 1908.
