I tie a pillow to my ass in case I fall down go boom.
Do you wear eyes and ears or is that too cool for you too?
I shoot indoors a fair bit in the winter (at least once, sometimes twice a week). I had my lead level tested and it was 21 mcg/dL. I started wearing the pink particle mask, and 3 months later my level was down to 12. Same amount of indoor shooting, same post-shooting cleanup habits. I will personally continue wearing a mask when shooting indoors, no matter how silly it looks or uncomfortable it is.
I'm glad to see there are some other people that are aware of the risks and dangers. I'm glad to hear that respirator has helped you.
