11. Do I have to bring my own firearm to attend your classes?
You do need to provide your own firearm for the private Pistol Fundamentals + Cleaning class. All other classes include a firearm rental at no additional cost. If you currently own a firearm, you are welcome to bring it to any class. Our classes include 9mm ammunition. if your personal firearm is any other caliber, you must provide your own ammunition.
12. What is the dress code for shooting activities and classes?
Avoid wearing low cut shirts or open toed shoes. you're trying to protect your skin from the hot brass that's ejected from the firearm while shooting.
You also may consider wearing a hat to help protect your face. your hair must be worn down or low to help get the proper placement for your hearing protection. Also no earrings.
Lastly, wear clothing you don't mind getting dirty. All MSKD classes are taught at an indoor range. Eventually you will practice shooting while wearing everyday clothing but only after you master the fundamentals.
