Silencer Stache Rules
The Sultan of Silence will conclude at 11:59 PM EDT Thursday, June 4. Votes will be tallied, and winners will advance to the next round beginning by 11:00 AM EDT Friday. Prior to the competition, we gave the Mustache Men a simple way to earn additional votes:
Each round, any team that posts two ASA suppressor related infographics on their company social media will receive 1,000 extra votes in that round. This proved to be the difference maker for several teams who advanced in the contest! The real winner though is suppressor advocacy – the more people who learn the facts about suppressors, the more likely we are to affect positive change.
Eliminated teams will be sent to the Losers Bracket, where they will duke it out with all the other losers for a shot to get back into the competition. Should a designated Mustache Man still in contention shave, they will automatically be sent to the bottom of the loser’s bracket, allowing the leading loser at the time to take their place.
The competition will conclude on Friday, June 12th, at which time the American Suppressor Association will crown the champion!
Silencer Stache Awards
Upon completion of the ASA Silencer Stache Competition, the teams with the best (or worst) lip rugs will be awarded the following:
Suppressors = Hearing Safety
An unsuppressed gunshot ranges from 140 – 185 dB
Exposure to a single shot can cause permanent hearing damage
The most serious threat to hearing comes from recreational hunting or target shooting 1
“Silenced” gunshots are still as loud as a jackhammer striking concrete 2
70–80% of hunters never wear hearing protection 2,3
“[Suppressors] should not be viewed as a threat to public safety,”
—ATF 5
“[The National Hearing Conservation Association] supports the use of firearm noise suppressors as a form of an engineering noise control to reduce hazardous noise exposures.” 6
ASA exists for one reason and one reason only: to fight for pro-suppressor reform nationwide
The ability of the American Suppressor Association to fight for pro-suppressor reform is tied directly to its ability to fundraise. Since the ASA’s formation in 2011, 3 states have legalized suppressor ownership and 18 states have legalized suppressor hunting. This would not have happened without your support. Join ASA in the fight to help protect and expand your right to own and use suppressors!
