Was talking to my neighbor last night as we were have an adult beverage. They just returned from a week on St John in the Caribbean. Seems that sun screen that uses OXYBENZENE as an active ingredient is a cancer causing agent! They said their dermatologist also mentioned that this ingredient was responsible for killing coral reefs!
Best sun screen to use is either zinc oxide or titanium oxide.
Just a thought for your day at the range!

Re: Sun screen
That's probably it, I wasn't sure and they weren't exactly sure either.

Re: Sun screen
There are some studies coming out about it, and they seem to be well done. Zinc oxide is a good sunscreen and can now be found in a bunch of products which don't look like diaper rash ointment.
