The American Skeet and Trap shotgun range includes 2 American skeet fields and 1 American trap field.

The international (bunker) trap field is open but only on prescribed days. Check the Calendar for periodic openings. 

On all shotgun ranges, range times are usually from 0900-1300. However, OIC may delay a start time and/or advance a closure time at any time and on their own volition due to multiple factors.  This includes, but is not limited to, on-scene weather (extreme heat, cold, high winds, rain, snow, giant flaming meteors), other QSC activities such as membership meeting, and/or general lack of member participation. It is always best to arrive closer to the range opening time than the closing time.  Be ready to shoot the final rounds at least 30 minutes prior to the posted closing time. 

All shooters shall check-in/sign-in with the OIC/RSO before approaching the firing line on any shotgun field.

All shooters shall check-out with the OIC/RSO after shooting is completed to tally/record rounds fired.

Practice gun safety at all times.

1. Never enter the QSC clubhouse with a firearm.

2. Carry all shotguns unloaded with the actions open until you are standing at your firing position.

3. For members using auto-loaders and pump actions, load a maximum of two shells at a time - only.

4. Only 7.5, 8, and 9 shot is allowed. Never use shot larger than size 7.5. Slugs are not allowed.

5. 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.

6. Hearing and eye protection is always required when shooting.

7. One game (trap or skeet) is 25 rounds and costs $6. Shooters must have scan cards to activate the readers located at each American skeet field to pay for the games on those fields. 

8. Children under 8 years of age are not allowed on the shotgun fields when the range is hot. Children 8 -18 must be continuously and immediately supervised by a parent or guardian at all times. The OIC/RSO may direct a child 8-18 to cease fire if the firearm being used does not fit the child's frame size as a matter of safety. 

SCHEDULE

• 0700 – Range opens / setup begins / meet at Gate 7 on Willis Rd
• 0745 – Gate 7 closes / range safety brief on the 1000-yard line.

Get here Early. It is strongly suggested that anyone wishing to set up during the break at 0940 be here and ready to go no later than 0930. Weather is a factor and may result in changes to this schedule. Rain, extreme heat, and so on can result in a shortened range day.

This is a 1000-yard shooting day only.  If firing a .338 caliber, understand you may be refused if the airspace cannot be cleared. We will only know if it is approved at the time we set up. Be prepared and bring an alternate caliber/rifle if possible.
