***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

Lanes 20-29 are reserved for special targets and RSOs who spot for those challenges. Steel Targets are set at target points 30-50 only. Steel Targets: Have your frame perfected before coming to the range. You do not have time to fool around and build the Taj Mahal, have your steel target sorted out for quick install / take down. Don't be that guy...come ready.

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.

  • Shooters must be prepared to case all weapons at the last cease fire. If your weapon needs time to cool down, please make plans to do so prior to 1230.
  • Our objective is to maintain a cycle of 45/15 minute hot/cold times throughout the day.
  • 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. 

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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please ensure your target stands can withstand the wind on the Range 1. If your target falls over because it’s not properly anchored, you will have to wait until the next cold time to make corrections.

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. If they are not, you will not be permitted to use those steel targets on Range 1.

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)
  • Magnum Caliber Pistols (.357mag, .44mag, +P) – 25 yards
  • Pistol (Braced) / PCC / Rimfire Rifle - 25 yards
  • Shotgun (Buck / Bird Shot) - 11 yards
  • Shotgun (Slug) - 55 yards
  • 5.56mm / .223 Ball - 110 yards
  • 7.62mm / .308 Ball - 165 yards
  • .300 Win Mag - 410 yards

Steel shooters may be segregated to one side of the firing line or other, and with a minimum lateral distance of 6 feet between steel shooters.

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. 

Brass buckets are for brass, NOT trash. 

ENVIRONMENTAL  

QSC does not provide water, sunscreen, insect repellent, etc.

RSOs

Your RSOs are volunteers, here for the safety of all club members and guests on the range.  Their commands are not negotiable. 

Our goal is to provide a SAFE, EFFICIENT and FUN range day for members and guests.

Range 4 - 1000yd Precision Rifle

Range Opening:  Report to Gate 7 off Willis Road at 0715. The gate closes at 0745. Range Safety Brief will be issued on the 1000-yard line at 0800. Upon confirmation that the QSC EMT is present, we will go HOT. Reminder: Get here Early. There will likely be a brief cease-fire, no more than 20 minutes, around 0945. This will be the only opportunity for new shooters who are prepared and can set their target up in this time frame to participate. It is strongly suggested that anyone wishing to take this opportunity be on location and ready to go no later than 0930. Weather is a factor and may result in changes to this schedule. This is the RSO cadre's call. Rain, extreme heat, and so on can result in a shortened range day.

Course of Fire: This is a 1000-yard shooting day only. If firing a 338 caliber, understand you may be refused if the airspace or distance X (6400yds) cannot be cleared. We ONLY know if 338 calibers can be approved on the morning of the event. Be prepared and bring an alternate caliber/rifle if possible.  

Steel & All Target Frames: Set up time is 0715-0745. UPON ARRIVAL SEE AN RSO FOR GUIDANCE AS TO WHERE TO SET UP. GATE 7 WILL CLOSE AT 0745. Don't come mid-morning and expect us to stop the range so you can set up, we come on time so you come on time. Big Boy Rules here. Lanes 20-29 are reserved for special targets and RSOs who spot for those challenges. Steel Targets are set at target points 30-50 only. Steel Targets: Have your frame perfected before coming to the range. You do not have time to fool around and build the Taj Mahal, have your steel target sorted out for quick install / take down. Don't be that guy...come ready. 

Shooters: All Shooters come prepared for quick target setup. No vehicles on any grass, keep on the roads. Targets, hydration, sunscreen, bug spray, and food - bring yours-- none provided. YOU MUST wear hearing protection and have eye protection per USMC base regulations.

Membership cards will be inspected to ensure you are a current club member (liability and safety). Membership cards that have expired can be renewed at club house.

Parking: Parking at 1000 yds permitted on the hill behind the 1000 yard line.

CANCELED - Shotgun - American Skeet & Trap

CANCELED - Shotgun - American Skeet & Trap

American Skeet & 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 fieldCheck-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.
