--I always wear a cap or hat when shooting to prevent any possiblity of a hot case parking on my glasses frame--this sounds like a turtleneck may be advisable--

That's a great idea! I have had several cases jump into my glasses. Fortunately I have had the presence of mind to just freeze till I was able to but down the firearm.

OUCH!

YEah, this is bad training. The first thing is, I think, you need to be ready for this unexpected sensation. But it sure makes sense to dress to prevent it. I've seen guys show up at the range in shorts, tshirt, and flipflops. Maybe it's comfortable, but it's just asking for trouble.

That is exactly why I wear a cap while shooting. I've had it happen before!
