Body Armor Seminar
Body Armor Seminar
Body armor has become more and more common. Many shooters are rightly interested in obtaining body armor but are unsure of where to start. In this seminar, we will cover not only how to understand the different ratings, but also the strengths and weaknesses of different materials. We will explain how to properly size and wear the armor. It will cover the advantages and disadvantages of overt vs concealed armor, ballistic helmets, and how to select the armor that is best for you and your needs. We will have a wide variety of armor and carriers available so that students can get hands on experience before making an expensive purchase.
