***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.

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
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.
