***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
