Just for those who don't know....and should...
I shot a guy in the mask today, beautiful shot, right dead center of his lense from about 30-40 feet. When we got down to the staging area and he began to clean the paint off he noticed that the ball broke not one layer but BOTH layers of his thermal lense. He actually had paint oozing into his mask from the crack. If I had double tapped him in the face the second ball may have done damage to his face and/or eyes. I went and chronoed my gun (standard field policy when a lense is broken and I averaged 270. When he was asked, he said the lense was over 2 years old.
Again... buy a new lense every year and toss the old one. Your eyesight is worth the $25 a year.
