Mesilla Valley Shotgun Sports will open the 5 Stand field this Saturday,
May 7, from 9:00 AM until noon.

The May club trap shoot was mistakenly scheduled for Mother’s Day.  It has now been moved to May 15.

We had 12 shooters in attendance including three of our junior shooters. Laughs around but two of the juniors won theclasses they were shooting in, plus one of them also took the Calcutta. The wind was reasonable but enough to give some of the adults an excuse.
All had fun and the shooters enjoyed seeing the youth do well and remarked what a pleasure it was to shoot with them. Of the 4 classes 2 won by youth and Phil won B and Randy won D. Hope to see all of you at the range. Preston

Our first trap club shoot went well even with the winds. We had 9 shooters, Fritz with a 48 didn’t notice the wind, other shooters suffered. We ended up with 5 shooters in D class (wind) 3 tied scores for class champion. In the ensuing shoot off at 27 yards sudden death Jerry Teufel prevailed on the second station a $35.00 winner. Fritz won A class and Dorothy Proffitt from El Paso won B class. We did not have any C class shooters. The shooters were from skeet, sporting clays, and trap venues. Hoping next month we will see more of you trap shooters. Join your we had a few good laughs. Remember your class is determined by your first 50 for score. Questions Preston 586-215-3060

The skeet range may be very busy with 4H and high school youth shooters and Senior Olympics. Fields may not be available until later in morning. Preston will strive to update this situation should it improve.

We’ve been improving the range!  The photos below show the new sidewalks at the trap fields, and the work in progress for the skeet safety walls, which will be complete Monday, April 4.

We would like to start a trap club shoot once a month, similar to the skeet club shoots that have been in operation for 3 years. Instead of doing handicaps for trap there would be classes AA-D. There would be cash prizes on day of shoot in each class,plus a championship day with awards, cash prizes, and lunch. Questions or ideas call Preston @ 586-215-3060

2022 NSSA All AmericanTeam was announced this week. MVSS Shooter Tyler Smelker was honored with Rookie of the Year – Captain, and Class C Honorable Mention. 

Tyler’s success was due you all the members of MVSS supporting the youth program. Preston has been a great influence in his shooting along with many other members. This award really goes out to the late John Moen, who supported all the youth in the program, and was always willing to give his time to assist. 

We have had some great youth develop over the years, and with your support it will continue.
