Ranges CLOSED
Range Control is Closed and therefore the QSC is Closed.
***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.

Sat, 09/07/2024 - 08:30 to 13:00 Shotgun Sports Mentorship Program Shotgun Sports Mentorship ProgramThe "Shotgun Sports Mentorship Program" (SSMP) is designed as a way for Marines / Navy and other junior military members from the military services who may not have access to shotguns to come out and shoot skeet and trap. We match an experienced QSC shot-gunner one-on-one with an enlisted (E1-E4) military service-member. We provide the shotgun and the 50 rounds of ammunition so they can shoot two 25-round "games"; the only cost is $10 for the targets used during the two games. In addition, QSC offers any active-duty E-1 to E-4 a free, 2-year QSC membership! This is a low cost means to experience the speed and thrill of shooting two shotgun sports while learning from experienced QSC members! Participation is easy:
Event Date(s):Sat, 09/07/2024 - 08:30 to 13:00 Sat, 09/07/2024 - 09:00 to 13:00 Shotgun Sports - American Skeet and Trap Shotgun Sports - American Skeet and TrapThe 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.

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 • UPDATED - 7.62mm / .308 Ball - 165 yards • UPDATED - 6.5 CM, .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. PLEASE NOTE - No dueling trees, Texas Stars, or other gimmick-like targets. 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. Shooters must bring their own targets, target stands, tools, fasteners, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and other materials. The QSC only provides a safe range to shoot on.
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. POLICE YOUR BRASS - All shooters are required to police their brass. Brass buckets are provided by QSC for brass, NOT trash. ENVIRONMENTAL QSC does not provide water, sunscreen, insect repellent, etc.Shooters must bring their own. 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. Event Date(s):Sun, 09/29/2024 - 08:00 to 14:00 Event Type:Sun, 09/29/2024 - 08:15 to 13:00 (Weather Permitting) Shotgun Sports Mentorship Program (Weather Permitting) Shotgun Sports Mentorship Programhe "Shotgun Sports Mentorship Program" (SSMP) iss designed as a way for Marines / Navy and other junior military members from the military services who may not have access to shotguns to come out and shoot skeet and trap. We match an experienced QSC shot-gunner one-on-one with an enlisted (E1-E4) military service-member. We provide the shotgun and the 50 rounds of ammunition so they can shoot two 25-round "games". The cost for the targets is just $10 for the two games. In addition, QSC offers any active-duty E-1 to E-4 a free, 2-year QSC membership! This is a low-cost means to experience the speed and thrill of shooting two shotgun sports while learning from experienced QSC members! Participation is easy:
Event Date(s):Sun, 09/29/2024 - 08:15 to 13:00 Sun, 09/29/2024 - 09:00 to 13:00 (Weather Permitting) Shotgun Field Sports: American Skeet & Trap (Weather Permitting) Shotgun Field Sports: American Skeet & TrapThe 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 auto-loaders 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. Event Date(s):Sun, 09/29/2024 - 09:00 to 13:00 |
