Paul,

Any sort of shock on a watch isn't good for it, but I believe that an Omega could stand it. It you can, you probably should take the watch off before practice or when you're entering a fire-fight:-)

There were a couple of complaints here with golfers. Their watches stopped after they played the rounds. I don't know if any of this is related to shooting though.

The 3301 calibre is btter known as the heavily modified ETA 2594.52 chronograph movement. Try "googling" that instead.

The lume should last for years and is better than the old "25 year" tritium that was once used. We call it "superluminova".

Hope that helped....
