“We wanted to bring a community together that offered more to both competitors and sponsors than currently available.”-Quantified Performance
About Quantified Performance, LLC
QP is a different type of group. The owners of Quantified Performance are not just match directors, they are Veterans that have worked hard to truly change the viewpoint on capabilities of the marksman and the AR platform. Both in the military and civilan world, these guys give shooters the knowledge and platform to work on their skillset while also enabling them to show it off to companies within the competitive industry.
Before many of their matches they have given shooters the opportunity to attend a class lead by experienced shooters to ensure everyone is sighted in and can successfully shoot a match. They also give shooters a platform that allows companies to see what these shooters are bringing to the table that may give shooters business and shooting opportunities in the future.
As far as running a match goes, QP has attended many gas gun matches but within a different series. Once that series was shut down and they began hosting their own matches, QP quickly became the name when it came to gas gun matches. They know how to properly run a match that is both challenging but realistic.
Membership
“When the series we were competing in was eliminated, we began running our own matches. These matches combined with our members group have consistently exceeded our initial expectations. We are continuing to build the community and bringing more benefits to our members every week.”-QP
Bringing more benefits to members is what makes this company special. Joining their patreon tiers gives members access to consulting opportunities or if you want to just get started within the shooting community, educational tiers.
Also joining Patreon and following QP allows you, a shooter, to have first input on changes that are being made and show QP what you want as a competitor.

The Range, Quantico Shooting Club
For the first time ever QP matches will now be held at the Quantico Shooting Club (QPS) in Quantico, Virginia. This range has the ability to shoot out to 1k and includes props on the range. Mind you, there has been Courses of Fire during QP matches that have gotten up to 1,000 yds so this is a great spot for the series.
Here is their Instagram and some other matches that they offer.
Divisions
From the official rule book
Chapter 2-Divisions
This match is divided into three Divisions: Open, Practical Precision, and General Purpose. All
shooters must declare the Division in which they will be competing prior to firing the first round
of the match. All divisions shoot the same course of fire on the same targets. Match Officials
may request at any point during a match that a competitor fire their rifle through chronograph.
If the projectile exceeds the Open Division 3,232 f/s speed limit (+32 f/s for environmental
factors and equipment discrepancies), the shooter will receive an automatic match DQ.
The following details govern each of the three divisions and categories:
2.1 Open Division. This division is intended to provide a competitive atmosphere for rifle systems that
are purpose-built for mid-to-long range competitive events.
2.1.1 Barrels in excess of 20.5 inches, as measured from the face of the closed bolt to the face of
the muzzle will automatically classify as “Open Division”. Suppressors, flash hiders, and brakes
DO NOT count toward the overall barrel length. There is no minimum barrel length requirement.
2.1.2 No limit to magazine capacity
2.1.3 May not exceed a caliber of .30 inches or a velocity of 3,200 ft/s. Violation of the caliber or
velocity limits will result in a match DQ.
2.2 Practical Precision Division. This division is intended to provide a competitive atmosphere for midto-long range rifles that are appropriate for real-world use, specifically service and department issued
rifle systems (and similar). Failing to meet the constraints of the division will result in the competitor
being moved to “Open Division”.
2.2.1 Barrels must be less than 20.5 inches, as measured from the face of the closed bolt to the
face of the muzzle. Suppressors, flash hiders, and brakes DO NOT count toward the overall
barrel length.
2.2.2 Magazine capacity is limited to 20 rounds.
2.2.3 Will not exceed a caliber of .30 inches or a velocity of 3,000 ft/s.
2.3 General Purpose Division. This division is intended to encompass practical rifles and carbines with
general purpose optics that are not purpose-built for a competitive edge in mid-to-long range
application. Failing to meet the constraints of the division will result in the competitor being moved to
“Practical Precision” or “Open” divisions, as applicable.
2.3.1 Barrels must be less than 18.5 inches, as measured from the face of the closed bolt to the
face of the muzzle. Suppressors, flash hiders, and brakes DO NOT count toward the overall
barrel length.
2.3.2 Available maximum magnification of 8.5x, per verified optical performance, or
manufacturer marking on optic, verified by manufacturer specification per model, whichever is
higher. Variable power optics with higher than 8.5x may be used with the provision that the
lowest power available is 1.5x or below. The addition of a secondary optic does not qualify as
meeting the 1.5x or below criteria.
2.3.2 No limit to magazine capacity.
2.3.3 Will not exceed a caliber of .30 inches or a velocity of 2,900 ft/s.
