Registered Sporting Clays Shoot
On Saturday, April 2, Mesilla Valley Shotgun Sports will host the second event in the 2016 New Mexico Sporting Clays Circuit. There will be six events in all, one at each of the National Sporting Clays Association clubs in New Mexico.
Our event will consist of two 100 target rounds, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Lunch will be served to all participants and ticket holders between rounds.
We will set up a 10 station course and each stations will use two electric traps. Although the targets will be geared towards experienced shooters, they should still be within the capabilities of most shooters. We will change the targets between rounds as required by NSCA rules.
The event is open to everyone, and for those who are not NSCA members there will be a Hunter class. It is however an NSCA event, and NSCA rules and fees will apply. There will not be a discount for MVSS members. Participation in the NMSC Circuit is optional though, and you can shoot our event without participating in the Circuit. An additional fee will be charged for that.
Registration is available through
