Yes, Blackstone Shooting Sports maintains a dress code policy for all guests using our range facilities to ensure a safe and comfortable shooting experience. Closed-toe shoes are required at all times while on the range. Additionally, we ask that guests avoid low-cut tops, tank tops, and any clothing that leaves significant areas of skin exposed around the neck, chest, and arms. This policy is in place to protect against burns caused by hot ejected brass casings, which can ricochet unpredictably during live fire. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe environment for everyone.
