Effective immediately, along with the whole of Butterfield Shooting Range, the Shotgun Range is closed until further notice.

The SCTP youth will be shooting skeet on Sunday, November 8. Recreational Skeet will be somewhat limited with the kids shooting on fields 2 and 3 until about 10:30. Field 1 will definitely be open for recreational shooting and possibly field 4.

The skeet club shoot scheduled for the 15th of November will still be a club shoot but not a final. We have not accumulated enough money to do a good job on buckles, trophies, and accumulated jackpot monies. I’ve talked to several of our shooters and they suggested that we roll this year into next and go for an October 2021 final. Fine with me; I’ll listen to any suggestions. Should we do that, I will continue to offer double round option at each shoot. Instead of having to shoot a minimum of 3 shoots to participate in a final it will now be 5 over 2020 and 2021. At each shoot, if 100 regular skeet targets are shot, it counts as 2, 50 targets count as 1. Questions or suggestions please call Preston at 586-215-3060. The December club shoot will be held on the 13th. See ya at the range, Preston

The 5-Stand venue will not be up this coming weekend (October 31-November 1) but instead will be setup for November 7-8.

The trap range will be closed today, Oct 28, as the range officers have opted to huddle around the fireplace. I have not heard the status of the skeet range, but it is sure cold.

These are the people who made a great effort to getting our targets in the houses on Saturday:

• Jack Thomas
• Ron Miller
• Phil Pruitt
• Jim Ramsey
• Scott Gardenhire
• Tyler Smelker
• Mike Smelker
• John Queery
• Brock & Naomi & Kira Hammond
• Carter Hammond
• Asa Maynard
• Steve Webb
• Tom Brown
• Doc Strader & Crew
• 3 generations of the Allison family including Chris & Stephanie, daughters Ashley, Summer and granddaughter Briley Eaton
• Youth from the High School Skeet & Trap Teams

Many thanks to All John Moen

We are getting a truckload of targets this coming Saturday, October 10 and really need some help in off-loading them. We usually get a crew from the Gospel Rescue Mission to do the majority of the work, but with Covid we do not want to take a chance with transporting them from the Mission to the range and back. So we need about 8 folks to get this job done. The truck is scheduled to arrive at 9:00 Saturday morning at which time, using a forklift, we will remove the 23 pallets from the trailer and set the pallets on the ground in the parking lot. John is arranging for one or two helpers for this part of the task. Then when shooting is over (around 11:30), using the forklift, the pallets will be distributed to the various trap and skeet houses. Then the work begins with the loading of the houses. Please email mvshotgunsports@comcast.net or call John (575-644-3936) or Joe (575-642-2072) if you are able to lend us a hand. The job usually take about 3 hours with 4 worker from the mission. We really need your help.
