Range 4 - 200-600yds Precision Rifle

A DOPE Day on Range 4 (Data on Previous Engagements). We will shoot from 200 yards to 600 yards.

  • This is NOT a zero day, you need a rifle with a 100yd zero. There will be no time at the 100yd line
  • This is not Across the Course practice. No-one in the pits and we will proceed at the line's pace
  • We will start after the Member Meeting, about 0915
  • We we begin at the 200yd line and shoot for about 45minutes, then move to the 300yd line and repeat, then the 400yd line, then the 600yd line (NO 500yds)
    • We will move at the slowest shooters pace but no more than 45 minutes at each yard line
    • We can skip yard lines if the line agrees
    • We can modify the course of fire if the line agrees, e.g., no 400yds but adding 500yd
  • Target line is fixed at 1,000yds - Only the firing line will move
    • Have the proper targets ready

Important Information

The following are prohibited on the range:

  • Fully automatic fire
  • Binary, forced reset triggers or bump stocks (simulated automatic fire)
  • Tracer rounds / incendiary (API) rounds of any kind
  • Trash, brass or ammo in the Port-a-Johns
  • “Boutique” calibers such as 375 and 416 Cheytac
  • Dueling Trees, Texas Stars, or other gimmick-like targets
  • Executing shooting drills of any kind

.338 and .50 calibers require air space clearance only granted at the time of range opening. It is strongly advised to bring a back-up rifle of another caliber in the event MCBQ Range Control cannot clear the airspace on the day of the shooting event.

Form 1 and Form 4 firearms are permitted

All shooters from 8 to 17 years of age may only shoot under the direct supervision of a qualified adult, which means the adult must be present on the firing line and in direct supervisory contact of the child or young adult shooter. No one under 8 years of age will be allowed onto the range. Ages 8 – 12 Limited to Rimfire Only.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

Only enter the pits of range after the RSOs are present - Entering early creates a safety issue and could result in you being suspended from club activities

Please present your current QSC membership card upon sign in.  Prior to entering the range, all guests must check in at the QSC Clubhouse and pay guest fee, sign waivers and present guest pass to a range RSO prior to shooting. 

Range Operating Notes:

  • At the start of the range day, and when RSOs are present, you may bring CASED firearms to the firing line during target set up time. 
  • ALL FIREARMS WILL REMAIN CASED until after the safety briefing is complete and RSOs have communicated that the firing line is Hot.
  • When a weapon is on the firing line and is not being fired, the bolt or slide will be open, magazine/ ammo source will be removed, the safety will be in the “on” position and an ECI will be inserted in the weapon’s chamber.
  • There will be no handling of uncased firearms while the firing line is cold.
  • 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 NOTES REGARDING TARGETS: Please ensure your target stands can withstand the wind. If your target falls over because it’s not properly anchored, you will have to wait until the next cold time to make corrections.

All shooters MUST bring target systems with them to the range. The QSC DOES NOT provide target systems to members or guests. You will not be permitted to fire a weapon on the Ironman range without a target system in place. In other words, you will not be permitted to fire any weapon into thin air.

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. 
  • Steel targets must not be compromised meaning there must not be excessive pitting or holes in the targets.

RSOs will inspect steel targets to ensure these requirements are met. If they are not, you will not be permitted to use those steel targets on the Ironman range.

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
    • DOES NOT INCLUDE .500 Smith and Wesson Magnum
  • 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
  • 6.5 Creedmoor - 410 yards
  • .300 Winchester Magnum / Norma Magnum – 410 yards
  • .50 Caliber – 410 yards
  • 6.8mm – Not authorized, paper targets only

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. 

HEALTH & SAFETY: Shooters must bring their own 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.
