We shoot only from the 1000 yard line.  We will end shooting at 1145, clear pits NLT 1200. Weather may shorten the day.

The Willis Road Gate 7 (the gate to the target line pits) will open at 0715.  Be prepared for a quick target set up as we intend to have our safety brief at 0750 at the 1000yd line and first shots out at about 0800. Do NOT expect to arrive at Gate 7 at 0730-0745 and be able to place targets, you will be too late and have to wait.  Mid morning we go into pits to mark / repair targets for 10 minutes only.  No...not enough time to put up targets so get here at 0715 like everyone else and set up targets for the day. Did we say get here at 0715 ?   

Report to the Range Safety Officers as soon as you enter the range for other instructions.  We may have changes so be flexible and we'll have a great shooting day. 

Known Distance (KD) Target Frame are available at the R4 pits. Contact the Pit RSO and they will issue you a frame for use (no target, you still must bring your own).

Please ensure you have an Empty Chamber Indicator (ECI) available.  If you don't have one, stop by the clubhouse and buy one for $1.00.  Using one aids the RSOs in the identification of firearm status and speeds up the unload and show clear safety process.

We may close the range early if the line completes firing or if they run out of ammo. Do NOT assume the ending range time is good and show up late, just  get here early.

Range Opens:  Report to Gate 7 off Willis Road at 0715.  Gate closes 0745.  Range Safety Brief will be issued on the 1000 yard line at 0750.  Upon confirmation that the QSC EMT is present, we will go HOT.   Reminder: Get here Early. Questions: Call Skip 703 987 7520

Course of Fire: This is a 1000 yard shooting day only. If firing a 338 caliber, understand you may be refused if the airspace or distance X (6400yds distant) cannot be cleared. We ONLY know if 338 calibers can be approved the morning of the event. Be prepared and bring an alternate caliber / rifle if possible.  

Steel & All Target Frames: Set up time is 0715-0745.  GATE 7 WILL CLOSE AT 0745.   Don't come mid-morning and expect us to stop the range so you can set up, we come on time so you come on time. Big Boy Rules here.  Steel Targets set at target points 25-50 only.   Steel Targets:  Have your frame perfected before coming to range. You do not have time to fool around and build the Taj Mahal, have your steel target sorted out for quick install / take down.  Don't be that guy...come ready. 

Shooters:  All Shooters come prepared for quick target set up. No vehicles on any grass, keep on roads. Targets, hydration, sun screen, bug spray and food - bring yours-- none provided.  YOU MUST Wear ear plugs and ear muffs and have eye protection per USMC base regulations.
