The shotgun range will be closed on both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve except for a non-registered fun skeet shoot on New Year’s Eve. For details on the fun skeet shoot please contact Preston at 586-215-3060. The registered 4×50 skeet shoot lacked sufficient interest to hold the event.

From Preston:

Questions I’ve had about winter League that may be of interest to all.

• Once you have obtained a class you never drop to a lower class but by shooting well obtaining a higher class is possible.
• You must declare you are shooting League round by placing your name on score sheet before shooting station one.
• Each shooter will pay a league fee of $20.00 which 1/2 will be donated to youth shotgun shooting, the other goes to our end of league luncheon and awards. Rounds for League are $4.00.

Annual club membership is $50.00 for a calendar year. You might want to consider giving memberships for Holiday gifts. I welcome inquiries and questions

It is time to start thinking about the winter skeet league starting January 1 thru April. Two person handicapped teams, only 4 rounds per month required, though you can shoot as many rounds in advance as you wish. If you don’t have a partner we’ll strive to find one for you. More to follow, questions call Preston 586-215-3060

The shotgun range will be open the Friday after Thanksgiving (November 24).

Message From Preston:

Club Skeet Championship held on October 29 saw some great shooting with John Moen running the 100 targets. That in itself was great shooting but because of handicaps caused a shoot off with 2 other shooters (Dorothy a class B shooter and George a class A shooter). The shoot off went 6 stations before Dorothy missed and 9 stations before George missed and of course our leader won the buckle, trophies were given to AA Larry, A George, B Dorothy, and C Pat. The presentations were made at the appreciation lunch. $100 in prize money was distributed and everyone enjoyed the green chile cheese burgers. I want to thank all participants and a special thanks to John and Roseann for the great lunch. Stay tuned for winter skeet league news and more club skeet championship starting the last Sunday of January the 28 with a new D class 10 bird handicap. I always welcome suggestions or questions.

We want to thank the DAC 4-H and Bullseye youth that cleaned up all the trash at the range that was strewn about from the overflow of the large dumpster and our trash barrels being blown over on a couple of windy days. We at Mesilla Valley Shotgun Sports really appreciate your efforts.

Very limited recreational trap shooting will be available Saturday November 4 due to 4-H Shoot.

All skeet shooting must be completed by 11:15 Wednesday, October 4

The range is closed today, September 27, due to the rain

On Saturday, September 23, we are supporting David Stambaugh – Director First in the Field, NM Youth Conservation Foundation, with shooting instructions at the range beginning around 9:00 a.m. for about 10 kids so they are better prepared for a dove hunt Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning over a milo field in La Mesa. They will begin in the classroom building at 8:00 with a hunter education refresher, shooting instructions at 9:00, followed by lunch, then go on a dove hunt in the afternoon. We are looking for a few volunteers to help give the kids guidance in the dove field and if you have a dog to retrieve the birds that is even better. The volunteers will be allowed to shoot doves after the kids leave on Sunday. If you can help, please give Joe a call at 575-642-2072 or email him at MVShotgunSports@comcast.net and he will fill you in on the details when they become available to him.
