The Quantico Shooting Club has been the center for marksmanship excellence since our founding 75-years ago. Our member-only and all volunteer club uses the Calvin A. Lloyd range complex, on Marine Corps Base Quantico, during weekends.  

Our club has access to ten premier rifle, pistol and shotgun ranges. We shoot trap and skeet, rifles out to 1,035 yards, as well as rifle and pistols on ranges from 10 to 700 yards. QSC is a great place for safe recreational shooting and we host a variety of competitions including: Precision Rifle Series (Centerfire, Rimfire and Quantified Performance), Steel Challenge, USPSA, PCSL (2 & 3-Gun), Vintage Sniper, XTC and shotgun matches. 

We offer many opportunities for the enthusiast. If you are a new shooter, we can assist with informal instruction on safety and fundamentals. For the more experienced marksman, our club hosts rifle, pistol, and shotgun competitions, as well as long-range precision shooting. Like our Marine hosts, we are committed to safety, sportsmanship, marksmanship and excellence.

    Shotgun Sports: American Skeet and Trap

    Shotgun Sports: American Skeet and Trap

    The Shotgun Range includes 2 American skeet fields, 1 American trap field, and 1 international (bunker) trap field. 

    The Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for the shotgun range requires, at a minimum, 1 Officer-In-Charge (OIC) and 1 Range Safety Officer (RSO) supervising the skeet and American trap fields. This field opening arrangement is typical when shotgun ranges are open. The SOP requires a second RSO at the international trap (IT) field for it to open. This means 3 qualified range officials must be on-site to open all shotgun ranges simultaneously. As a result, the IT field is only open when there is club-member demand and 3 qualified range officials are available. 

    Please let the Club leadership know at least 5 days in advance if the IT field is desired and the shotgun RSOs will strive to meet your request. Check these notes for future openings.

    On all shotgun ranges:

    When open, range times are from 0900-1300. Check-in/Sign-in with the RSO before approaching the firing line on any shotgun field. Check-out with the RSO after shooting is completed to tally/record rounds fired.

    Practice gun safety at all times. Never enter the QSC clubhouse with a firearm. Carry all shotguns unloaded with the actions open until you are standing at your firing position. For members using autoloaders and pump actions, load a maximum of two shells at a time only.

    Only 7.5, 8, and 9 shot is allowed. Never use shot larger than size 7.5. Slugs are not allowed. 

    RSOs have discretion over what types of shotguns are allowed. Generally, shotguns should have shoulder stocks and barrels longer than 24 inches. The firearm must be in good working order.

    Hearing and eye protection is always required when shooting.

    One game (trap or skeet) is 25 rounds and costs $5. Shooters must have scan cards to activate the readers located at each American skeet field to pay for the games on those fields. Paper punch cards (available in the clubhouse) are used to pay for American and international trap games.

    Please be ready to shoot at least 30 minutes prior to the posted closing time. RSOs may close the range early due to unsuitable weather conditions.
