The correct answer is: To protect against long-term damage to sight and hearing

It is important to wear ear and eye protection when shooting to protect against long-term damage to sight and hearing. Exposure to loud noises, such as gunfire, can cause permanent damage to your hearing over time. Additionally, wearing eye protection can prevent debris or shell casings from causing injuries to your eyes. Both ear and eye protection are essential safety measures to ensure the preservation of your senses while enjoying shooting sports.
