Rifle (Ranges 2 & 3 100- 600 yards)
Ranges 2 & 3 are 600-yard rifle range with shooting positions located at 100-yard increments. Up to .50 caliber ammunition and below is authorized on this range. Muzzleloaders, .75 caliber and below may be used. Members must bring their own targets. The firing positions are open and some target carriages are available in the pits for shooters. Members must bring their own targets and stands.
Ranges 2 & 3 are used for recreational fire and competitions and are available through the QSC Operations Officer. There is no charge for members during recreational fire but guests must pay a range fee of $10.
No weapon shall be taken up to the firing line unless the rounds for which that weapon is chambered are authorized to be discharged on that range at that time. Equally important is that regardless of the round to be chambered, the weapon itself must be authorized at the firing line.
We can fire a number of different weapons on this range as well as Range 4. Up to .30-'06 is allowed on all of them, and .50 BMG is allowed on Range 2, 3 & 4. .338 LM is now considered by the base to be the furthest SDZ and is allowed on Range 4 & 3 at certain times starting at 500 yards.
Members and guest are encouraged to read the Range 2 and Range 3 SOPs and the rules about Transporting Firearms aboard MCBQ.
