  • Safety Rules

    Please remember the following rules for servicing the trap houses:

    1. Effective communications between all responsible persons is key to insuring safe operations. It is left to the discretion of those persons in charge to determine the most effective method of communication.
    2. Before servicing any downrange (north of the skeet houses) traps, all persons responsible for the other activities (skeet, trap, 5-stand, or other sporting venues) shall be informed as to the need for servicing and all shooting, without exception, shall cease.
    3. An orange cone shall be placed on top of the trap house and in prominent view in the 5-stand or other sporting game field while servicing the traps.
    4. Upon completion of the downrange servicing, the orange cone shall be removed and the other activities shall be informed that the servicing is complete so shooting may resume.
    5. Under no circumstance will shooting be allowed to occur while an orange cone is visible downrange.
    6. It is imperative that those persons servicing downrange traps remain vigilant with their eyes and ears to insure that shooting has truly ceased.
    7. If using air horns as the means of communicating, the following will remain as the standard: One blast– cease fire; Two blasts — all clear.

    These rules are also on this site at https://mvss.pfeifferfamily.net/safety-rules/ and are available as a PDF at https://mvss.pfeifferfamily.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Safety-procedure-2014-01-07.pdf

  • This Weekend Activities at the Range

    Saturday, April 1, 2017:

    High School Trap Shoot: We will have 50 high school students shooting 2 rounds of singles and 2 rounds of handicap trap beginning at 8:30 a.m. Joe could use a few more scorers to help with the shoot. If you can help please show up at 7:30 to help set up the traps. We will be using traps 1 through trap 4 dedicated to this shoot.

    Trap P will be available for normal recreational shooting.

    5-Stand will be setup Saturday for practice from 9 ’til Noon. Mark can always use some help setting up this venue.

    Sunday, April 2, 2017

    Dona Ana County 4-H Competition: Approximately 30 4-H kids will be shooting 2 rounds of skeet and 2 rounds of trap to determine who will represent Dona Ana County 4-H at the State Competition. We will dedicate skeet fields 1 and 2 along with trap fields 1 and 2 to this activity. I believe that this activity will begin around 9:00 a.m. but I do not have a schedule yet and in the past the kids  trickle in. Any help with this activity will be appreciated.

    Skeet 3 and Traps 3 and 4 will be available for recreational shooting and probably skeet field 1 or 2 will free up at times. 5-Stand will be setup for shooting beginning at 9:00 a.m.
