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.
Steel Targets
Ballistic steel targets must be a minimum of 3/8" thick and constructed of AR-500 steel. All steel targets should 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.
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 - 110 yards
- .300 Win Mag - 320 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. That includes USMC PITS. 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.
Empty Chamber Indicators (ECIs) are mandatory.
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.
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.
