    Eagle mask from Ebay

    Remember the discussions we all had abohut the Eagle masks sold on Ebay by FenceSmart?

    Just thought I'd pass on that one of our students bought one, brought it to me to be tested, and it had a failure right where the left eye would be.

    One should point out that that old chestnut also applies to advice... like advice about whom to buy from...
