  • Club Trap Shoots

    We will be featuring our club trap shoots February 7 with a little different scheduling. Each month’s event will have two shoot dates. The final results for each month will be determined after the second shoot. This is being done in the hopes of attracting more trap shooters. The second shoot will be February 11. On club trap shoot days the trap range will open for registration and practice at 8:30 am with competition at 9ish. I am always open for suggestions. Info or suggestions Preston 586-215-3060

  • Limited Public Shooting This Weekend

    Mesilla Valley Shotgun Sports is hosting the New Mexico High School Clay Target Association’s state-wide event on January 12, 13, and 14. Nearly a hundred young shooters from all over New Mexico will participate in skeet, trap (including handicap and doubles), and sporting clays. We hosted this event in December, 2022, it was very successful, and the largest event MVSS has ever held.

    For that reason, there will be no public trap, skeet, or sporting clays on Saturday, and only limited availability of one or two skeet fields on Sunday.
