According to the Quantico Shooting Club by-laws, the Board of Directors may approve Quantico Shooting Club, Inc membership for U.S. citizens, who are legally eligible to possess or use firearms (individually or with adult supervision), in the following categories:

Regular. Any member of the Marines, Armed Forces, Regular, Reserve or Retired, or any dependent family member of the same, or any DOD employee or retiree. Former POWs, Purple Heart recipients, and veterans who served in combat zones, who are not eligible to become regular members, will be considered regular members for the purpose of holding office and voting. However, these members will not be considered military or DoD members for Club ratio purposes.

Associate. Any person (civilian) who is sponsored by a regular member, approved by the Board of Directors and has paid the prescribed dues. Civilians may join the Club but their membership cannot equal more than 1/3 of the total Club membership.

Membership Ratio. According to our bylaws, Quantico Shooting Club must maintain a ratio of two-thirds Regular Members to one-third Associate Members. The Operations Officer manages this ratio and processes associate membership applications when positions become available. If positions are unavailable, the Operations Officer adds associate members applications to the waiting list based on the date and time of receipt.
