I'm pretty sure the body armor is needed when using the shoot house.

I've taken a different Hackathorn class and I'm considering this class as well. I've trained with Pincus, Magpul, EAG, and some others and Hackathorn is hands down my favorite instructor!

Yes, that's correct.

It's a training environment, hence the armor requirement.
