    Lens "Punch Through" Pics.

    Thought you guys would dig this one.
    At Pump day in Sacramento yesterday, I had this shot dislodge the tabs on my invision and get to the inside of the mask.
    Wharfrat has one of thos cheap metal storage buildings on his field, and he cut windows in each side of it so you can shoot through it.
    I knew there was a player on the other side, and he knew I was there too. We both came out and shot each other in the head. I popped him in the center of the lens, and his hit on the brigde of the Dye's nose.
    It was funny to see everyone's reaction because you just never see paint around someones eyes.
    Anyway, the lens did it's job against a five foot shot.
    For general info: Lens was bramd new, I know it was seated correctly because I just put in and checked it last week, and his gun was cronoed and shooting probably 260-290.
    Brent.
    I don't practice anymore: I'm just good in a natural, vicious sort of way.

    Will you please tell your boobs to quit staring at my eyeballs?

    Very lucky you didn't get shell in your eyes.

    Quick, go buy a lottery ticket.

            i had a problem like that happen when i was playing a tourney. me and a guy from the other team didnt know that the other person was on the other side of the center 50 bunker. we both went for teh flag, and ended up ea shooting each other a few times in the head. when i walked off the field and cleaned off my lens, there was a crack running straight down the center of the mask, one or 2 more hits and the seconadary thermal lense wouldve broken too.

                Give Dye a ring. They'd love to hear about this. Maybe they'll send you a new one for free.

                    Damn thats intense either that point is weak or that was some incredible force to get those lenses to pop out like that.

                      There are ASTM rules on how large piece of shell can come through into the eye area.

                      Judging by those pics I wouldn't be too happy about wearing those goggles.

                      Are you sure the lens was in properly?

                        Well the way I read it that would be none.

                          Another reason for me to dislike dye masks.

                              ..

                              Now I like my Pro-Flex even more, first time I took the lens out took me 10 minutes so I know for sure they wont pop out.
