***Always check the calendar for last minute changes before coming to the range.***

***Non-Match ranges are posted Thursday night for the coming weekend.***

***Matches appear on the Calendar well in advance as we need base approvals 3-months prior***

Range Control notifies the QSC of available ranges on Sunday night for the coming weekend (remember, RC has to de-conflict 39 Quantico Ranges). Our Chief RSO notifies our RSO cadre of available ranges and asks for volunteers to open ranges (3 per range). By Thursday night we know if we can or cannot open a range and it is placed on the Calendar Thursday night or Friday morning. If RSOs don't respond, then ranges will not open. Our volunteer RSOs are vitally important to the success of the club - consider becoming an RSO to help all shooters and allow us to open all ranges.

  • Click the Event Title in the calendar date block to get additional information on the course of fire or limits for the day's shooting
  • If NO ranges are posted by Friday morning, it could be due to all ranges being closed - check back the following week
  • If no Marine training is taking place on MCBQ ranges, then all ranges (and QSC) will be closed 
  • If there are no events listed for a future date, the event may be awaiting confirmation of RSO availability
  • Members can bring Guests - Report to the Clubhouse and sign a waiver, pay the $10 Range Fee (each) and receive a guest pass that is provided to the RSO at the range
  • Must have a QSC member card

Range 1 - Rec Fire

Range 1 - Rec Fire

Empty Chamber Indicators (ECIs) are MANDATED for use on Range 1.  All shooters will be checked for compliance.

This is a 300 meter range. Recreational calibers are authorized up to and including 50 BMG, but .338 Lapua is prohibited. There will be no ammunition fired that has a maximum range of more than 6500 meters. However, Range Control may place restrictions at any time for any reason.

Range Opening and Initial Target Set-Up:

Hours:

Occupy:   0715

Hot:      0800

Depart:   1200

Range will be open and ready for sign-in and target set-up as soon as the RSOs are available and provide guidance. Do not bring your gear onto the range if the RSOs are not present.

Shooters must bring their own targets, target stands, tools, fasteners, personal protective equipment, and other materials. Hearing and eye protection are mandatory.

 

General Guidelines:

All guests must check in at the QSC Clubhouse with their club member sponsor to pay the guest fee and sign waivers prior to shooting.

Guests will present the guest pass to the range safety officer on the range at check-in.

Bring your CASED firearms and gear to the firing line only AFTER you have checked in with an RSO, shown your QSC membership card, your guests have shown their guest passes, and all shooters have completed and signed the club sign-in sheet.

Do NOT uncase any firearms until AFTER the safety briefing is complete AND RSOs have communicated that the Range is Hot.

Shooters showing up throughout the day will first sign in and then receive a safety brief from an RSO prior to carrying gear to the firing line.

The range will go hot/cold as needed at roughly 45/15 minute intervals, and potentially more frequently if it will optimize range usage.

Targets are limited to paper, wood, plastic, and approved ballistic steel. Ballistic steel targets must be a minimum of 3/8" thick and constructed of AR-500 steel. Soft steel is not allowed.

 

Steel Targets:

Minimum engagement distances for portable ballistic steel targets:

Pistol:                      8 yards

Shotgun (birdshot):          11 yards

Shotgun (slugs):             55 yards

Rifle caliber up to 7.62:    110 yards

Rifle caliber .300WM         320 yards

Non-metal pistol targets must be placed and shot in a manner so that all rounds impact the downrange impact berm. No shooting directly into the dirt in front of you.

 

Firing Line:

The firing line MAY be established forward of the Shoot House 2 paved area to maximize distance between shooters and range capacity. When aligned forward of the overhead cover and on the dirt, there will be orange cones on the left and right limit of the firing line indicating the farthest positions that shooters can occupy on the firing line. Shooters should plan accordingly for grass and dirt. Use of a tarp is suggested.

Shooters should identify their intended target distance to the RSO upon checking in. An attempt will be made to put shooters engaging distant targets on the left and shooters engaging closer targets on the right, as viewed from the firing line to the pits.

Drawing from holsters will be permitted at the RSO Team discretion. Firing line congestion and other risk factors will be considered in making the decision. RSO decisions are not negotiable.

 

Trash and Residue:

ALL target material, shell casings, and trash must be removed from the range after firing. There should be no trace of activity left on the range. If you pack it in, pack it out. If you move tables forward of their position in the covered area, you are responsible for putting them back.

Environmental: Bring tick repellant, sunscreen, and water.

 

RSOs: Hart / Orta / Colelli

Your RSOs are here for the safety of all club members on the range, so please follow all their commands and enjoy your time on Range 1, safely.

Non-metal pistol targets must be placed and shot in a manner so that all rounds impact the downrange impact berm. No shooting directly into the dirt in front of you.

 

 

Firing Line:

The firing line MAY be established forward of the Shoot House 2 paved area to maximize distance between shooters and range capacity. When aligned forward of the overhead cover and on the dirt, there will be orange cones on the left and right limit of the firing line indicating the farthest positions that shooters can occupy on the firing line. Shooters should plan accordingly for grass and dirt. Use of a tarp is suggested.

Shooters should identify their intended target distance to the RSO upon checking in. An attempt will be made to put shooters engaging distant targets on the left and shooters engaging closer targets on the right, as viewed from the firing line to the pits.

Drawing from holsters will be permitted at the RSO Team discretion. Firing line congestion and other risk factors will be considered in making the decision. RSO decisions are not negotiable.

 

 

Trash and Residue:

ALL target material, shell casings, and trash must be removed from the range after firing. There should be no trace of activity left on the range. If you pack it in, pack it out. If you move tables forward of their position in the covered area, you are responsible for putting them back.

Environmental: Bring tick repellant, sunscreen, and water.

 

 

RSOs: Hart / Hanson / Roth

We shoot only 1000 yards. Be here at Gate 7 when gate opens at 0715.  If it takes you 20 min or longer to set up or tear down your target...that is unacceptable.  Have your targets ready for quick set up and quick tear down.  

 Report to Range Safety Officers as soon as you enter the range for other instructions.  We may have changes so be flexible and we'll have a great shooting day.   KD Target Frame are available to members on the range now.  Just come to pits and RSO will issue you a target frame to use.  Please ensure you have an Empty Chamber Indicator (ECI) available.  If you don't have one, stop by the clubhouse and buy one for $1.00.  Using one aids the RSOs in the identification of firearm status and speeds up the unload and show clear safety process.

Due to ammunition shortages we will close if the ammo runs out!!!  Get here early.

Range Opens:  Report to Gate 7 off Willis Road at 0715.  Gate closes 0745.  Range Safety Brief will be issued on the 1000 yard line at 0750.  Upon confirmation that the QSC EMT is present, we will go HOT.   Reminder: Get here Early. Questions: Call Skip 703 987 7520

Empty Chamber Indicators (ECIs) are MANDATED for use on Range 1.  All shooters will be checked for compliance.

This is a 300 meter range. Recreational calibers are authorized up to and including 50 BMG, but .338 Lapua is prohibited. There will be no ammunition fired that has a maximum range of more than 6500 meters. However, Range Control may place restrictions at any time for any reason.

Range Opening and Initial Target Set-Up:

Hours:

Occupy:   0715

Hot:      0800

Depart:   1200

 

Range will be open and ready for sign-in and target set-up as soon as the RSOs are available and provide guidance. Do not bring your gear onto the range if the RSOs are not present.

Shooters must bring their own targets, target stands, tools, fasteners, personal protective equipment, and other materials. Hearing and eye protection are mandatory.

 

 

General Guidelines:

All guests must check in at the QSC Clubhouse with their club member sponsor to pay the guest fee and sign waivers prior to shooting.

Guests will present the guest pass to the range safety officer on the range at check-in.

Bring your CASED firearms and gear to the firing line only AFTER you have checked in with an RSO, shown your QSC membership card, your guests have shown their guest passes, and all shooters have completed and signed the club sign-in sheet.

Do NOT uncase any firearms until AFTER the safety briefing is complete AND RSOs have communicated that the Range is Hot.

Shooters showing up throughout the day will first sign in and then receive a safety brief from an RSO prior to carrying gear to the firing line.

The range will go hot/cold as needed at roughly 45/15 minute intervals, and potentially more frequently if it will optimize range usage.

Targets are limited to paper, wood, plastic, and approved ballistic steel. Ballistic steel targets must be a minimum of 3/8" thick and constructed of AR-500 steel. Soft steel is not allowed.

If you show up after 1045, you may not get a chance to shoot.
