TARGETS

Shooters must bring their own targets, target stands, tools, fasteners, personal protective equipment, and other materials.

Targets are limited to paper, wood, plastic, and approved ballistic steel.

Steel Targets

Ballistic steel targets must be a minimum of 3/8" thick and constructed of AR-500 steel. All steel targets must be mounted or hung with a forward cant to deflect all bullet fragments towards the ground. RSOs may inspect steel targets to ensure these requirements are met.

PLEASE NOTE - No dueling trees, Texas Stars, or other gimmick-like targets.

Minimum engagement distances for portable ballistic steel targets:

• Pistol - 10 yards (No pistol magnum calibers, FN 5.7 or +P ammo on steel)

Paper Targets 

• Non-metal pistol targets placed closer than 25 yards must be as tall as the shooter. 
• Targets must not exceed the height of the impact area when viewed from your intended shooting position on the firing line.

FIRING LINE

Shooters are responsible for ensuring their target stands are not in the line of sight of other targets and they are not shooting someone else’s target. Know what is up and down range of your target. The RSOs will check this, and lost range time will result if an issue is discovered. 

CLEAN UP – PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT

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 other than lead in the berms. If you pack it in, pack it out.

American Skeet & Trap will be open.

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 RSO's 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. 

RSO's 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. RSO's may close the range early due to unsuitable weather conditions.
