Quantico Shooting Club

The Quantico Shooting Club operates as an all-volunteer, member-only organization using the Calvin A. Lloyd range complex on Marine Corps Base Quantico during weekends. Founded over 75 years ago, QSC has built a reputation around safety, sportsmanship, marksmanship, and excellence—values it shares with its Marine host installation.

QSC provides access to rifle, pistol, and shotgun ranges with specific capabilities:

Note: The International (Bunker) Trap field is currently inoperable pending high-cost repairs.

QSC hosts a variety of sanctioned competitions throughout the year:

• •PRS Centerfire - Precision Rifle Series centerfire matches
• •PRS Rimfire - Precision Rifle Series rimfire division
• •USPSA - United States Practical Shooting Association pistol matches
• •Steel Challenge - Pistol speed shooting
• •PCSL & Multi-Gun - Practical Carbine, Shotgun, and multi-gun events
• •Vintage Sniper - Military rifle matches
• •High Power - High power rifle competitions
• •Shotgun Skeet & Trap - American shotgun sports

Match attendees receive guest privileges. Match schedules and sign-ups are posted on Practiscore a week in advance.

Shotgun field hours typically run 0900-1300 on scheduled weekends. One game (25 rounds) costs $6. Members need scan cards to activate payment readers at American skeet fields.

This is a restricted military installation. Civilians cannot simply drive onto the base.

Critical Firearm Rules on MCBQ: - No concealed carry (Federal Law Enforcement Officers excepted) - No fully automatic fire or full-auto simulation - Form 4 NFA SBRs and suppressors allowed - No binary triggers - Specific transport protocols required

QSC does not sell, rent, loan, or store weapons or ammunition per MCBQ regulations.

QSC runs an all-volunteer RSO cadre based on NRA training standards with USMC requirements. RSOs receive: - No-cost membership renewals if they open and operate 6 ranges - OIC/RSO Certification Training (in-person, includes hands-on firearm types) - Discretionary authority over range operations, including early closure for safety or weather

• •E-1 to E-4 Free Memberships - Active duty enlisted personnel
• •Shotgun Sports Mentorship Program - Skeet & trap instruction
• •Wounded Warrior Program - Veterans support initiative
• •Volunteer Opportunities - Multiple roles in club operations

Non-match ranges are posted Thursday nights for the coming weekend. Matches appear on the calendar months in advance due to MCBQ approval requirements. Always check the calendar before arriving—Range Control can cancel ranges at the last minute, and volunteer RSOs may close ranges early due to weather, safety concerns, or lack of participation.

QSC is strictly volunteer-run and open weekends only. It's not a commercial range and cannot operate like one. There's no formal firearms instruction due to insurance restrictions, but informal safety and fundamentals instruction available for new shooters. All members participate in upholding the club's standards for safety, sportsmanship, and marksmanship.

The club emphasizes patience: email responses may take time since everyone has day jobs. But for shooters seeking competitive rifle, pistol, and shotgun ranges with sanctioned match events in Northern Virginia, QSC's facility access and volunteer community are unmatched for serious shooters willing to navigate MCBQ base procedures.
