  • Sporting Clays: Help Needed

    The MVSS sporting clays crew would like to have some help setting up the  course for this Saturday’s shoot, and some help tearing it down afterwards.

    Either one takes about 2-3 hours. Traps and batteries have to be moved and positioned and the machines filled with targets. Trash has to be picked up, cans have to be put out and emptied, cardboard has to be collected and recycled. We have a system that works pretty well but could always use more help.

    If you want to help, please meet us at the sporting clays range at 8:00 AM on Friday for setup, or stay after the shoot on Saturday for teardown.

  • Sporting Clays This Weekend

    MVSS will open its sporting clays field this Saturday, September 17, from  9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

    The new procedures will be in place for this shoot. Please review the  following changes and arrive early enough to be at your assigned station by 9:00.

    5 Stand will be held on September 10 instead of September 3. This is due to the Labor Day holiday, the opening weekend of dove season, and the New Mexico State Skeet Shoot, which will be held at our range on September  2-4. No recreational skeet shooting will be available that weekend.
