Our 2023 High Explosive Class schedule has been updated. Details here:
WCMG High Explosive Class Schedule Classes are limited to 16 students to ensure everyone gets lots of hands-on experience with different types of High Explosives. In the Advanced Class on Sunday, we build and detonate a Claymore and an HE Grenade, as well as Satchel Charges, cut down trees, shape charges, etc. Details in the class listings. If you didn't want to click on the link above, here's the details: The Intro Class and Advanced Class are held on the same weekend with the Intro Class on Saturday and Advanced Class on Sunday. Many attendees attend both classes to save on travel cost. Have you ever wanted to learn how to safely handle and use high explosives including C-4, Semtex, Emulsions, RDX, Hexolite, Comp-B, DetCord, Dynamite, ANFO, PETN, and binary liquid explosives? Now’s your chance. WCMG LLC has opened up their High Explosive Law Enforcement Training to the general public with no previous experience required. All attendees must be 18+ years old with a valid driver license, be able to pass a Background Check, and be a US Citizen. |

Does this class count to or for a mining certification?

Sounds like fun.
Many years ago I got to attend an FBI Large Vehicle Bomb Post Blast Investigation Course. They lit off a truck bomb with 3K pounds of ANFO on one of the Navy bombing ranges. The class had to go in and investigate the scene afterward. Made a hell of a crater.  Attached File |

Would be interesting for sure. Used some cool stuff mining. One .mil product was a
Shape charge that cuts off re-bar, was really helpful in what we were doing. |

April class has sold out and June class as 6 slots left. The Intro Class and Advanced Class are held on the same weekend with the Intro Class on Saturday and Advanced Class on Sunday. Many attendees attend both classes to save on travel cost.
Did inventory today and we have 375 lbs of high explosive in stock. We ordered a bunch more that is arriving in two weeks, so our students don't have to worry about running out during class.                       |

A very big THANK YOU to Ballistic Dummy Lab for donating a head and torso for our April 30’th Advanced Usage of High Explosive Class. Students will be using (aka destroying) them during class with high explosives. Possibly wrapping DetCord around the head, or jamming C-4 into an eye socket, or maybe just taping a stick of dynamite to the side of the head, well it’s students choice during the Advanced Class so we will see how creative they can be.

I was at a sandstone site drilling and blasting and a young guy that was helping says, for the shot I'm going to go over by the metal building to watch.
I said the one with the holes in it 50 yards away. Um yes. Well that's why we're not going to be standing over there. He said he would duck his head if needed. Nope pard I don't think you understand the speed of the flyrock here and I'll just have to save you from yourself here. I would have like to had a dummy for those shots . |

That's exactly right, you're not going to dodge a piece of flyrock. This year during the safety briefing, we are going to have a closed-fist ballistic hand holding a detonator (aka blasting cap for some readers) to show the power behind a det and why you should always carry them by the wires. Should be a sobering experience for the class.
