I want to be careful not to ruffle any feathers, but I have an honest question. I'm interested in shooting at QSC in the upcoming PRS match, but the drive is quite a long way for me. I've shot at Pigg River and thought it was a great experience with the beautiful rolling hills and perfect grass, varied terrain and interesting props. I've shot at other places like Coleman's Creek and Frontline Defense that have unique features like mountainous terrain or nice wooded areas. The pictures I've seen of QSC look like it's a fairly basic square range with flat terrain and not much "novelty" to speak of. Again, not trying to bash, but looking for some opinions - is the drive to the Quantico match worth it if there are options closer to me?
Quantico Shooting Club - Worth the Drive?
- Thread starter _Thor_
- Start date
Yup shot at all of them. In central NC too.
Honestly Quantico wouldn’t be worth the drive for me. Shot a .22 match there before and it’s a square range and you have to wait and get a pass to get in the gate so have to get there earlier. The pass lasts for a year though so that’s good. If you wanted to go and see for yourself then make the drive up.
I have shot both gas gun and PRS matches there.
The range is square and limited in ways but overall it’s a well organized match, there are almost always great shooters there to compete against and it is well organized/ran.
Yes make sure you contact them before in order to plan for gate access. But like anything once you understand the system, it’s not anything to fear or worry about.

It's a horrifically run match....wtf are you talking about. Like 5 of the top shooters left half way through the last match it was so bad. The Two matches before that were terrible as well. Guys who live 30 mins away and travel to shoot every weekend won't even shoot there anymore. Pro shooters...not kids who don't know the difference between a well run match and a shitshow.

I’ll ask one of my teammates. He used to MD matches there for Rimfire.
I believe they have service rifle there also.

-Target ranges off by more than 20 yards.
-Targets you couldn't even see from the props
-Wobbly ass dangerous props despite having a whole array of steel props to utilize
-Md making up rules as they go along, throwing out stages wishy washy. I won a match then they later threw out the stage and dropped to like 4th. At another match I finished 3rd then dropped to 8th after they threw out another stage I cleaned. Totally fucked up regional points.
-targets at sub 200 yards despite half the guys there including USMC team shooting 175gr smk.
-Target failures all day
-one match they put out rimfire steel for CF match and were bitching about people shooting AP...
-more shit I can't remember
They shouldn't be allowed to be a PRS points match. Virtually every pro and semi pro I know who shot it said the same thing.
This is why rule #1 in PRS is only shoot matches run by experienced competitors.

Hey man, just saying I don’t think you talk to your friends face to face that way no matter how wrong you think they are. Maybe I am wrong but I don’t need to insult someone to prove when I am right.
Maybe consider showing courtesy here too
Just a friendly suggestion for your consideration
Note that “charm” isn’t part of his name…
Sorry wasn't trying to be argumentative or insulting. Just being honest about the matches. But they were THAT bad.
That’s why I stopped shooting at peacemaker 10 years ago… ain’t got time for poorly run matches that run long.
Is this Mr. H, sir (and on the O-5 list still or recently promoted?)No worries. And thank you.
I only cried a little bit over this anyways
lol, no. But I know Tim well hahahaIs this Mr. H, sir (and on the O-5 list still or recently promoted?)
I haven't seen him since the Rod & Gun days/States in the 'burg, but your side profile was almost close, so had to ask. Well-played.
I haven’t heard where his next stop is.
Ironically the last one I shot there was one of his last and was the quality I was mentioning. Didn’t know they fell so far since
