Equipment Requirements:

The use of compensators or muzzle brakes ARE NOT ALLOWED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Factory A2 or military “birdcage” style flash suppressors, or three or four-prong flash-hiders are permitted. Suppressors are encouraged. Blast forward devices such as the Surefire Warden are approved, but these devices must direct ALL gas forward and in line with the barrel and remain in place throughout the training. Any muzzle device possessing ports, holes, etc. that let gas escape in any direction not directly forward and in line to the barrel will NOT BE ALLOWED under any circumstance. There will be zero tolerance for equipment that does not meet this requirement. If you are unsure, then error toward the side of standard military flash suppressors. This requirement is designed to reduce the debris, hearing damage and concussive effect inflicted upon the person to the left and right of you on the firing line. Registering for this class implies that the student understands and will comply with this requirement. Course tuition will NOT be refunded if a student is removed for violating this requirement.
