Due to the Mesilla Valley Open registered skeet shoot, there will be No recreational skeet shooting this weekend (May 27 and 28)

Somehow, someone has gotten in and replaced at least one of the pages on this site with an ad for an online pharmacy. I found the file they inserted and removed it, and have submitted a request to for google to remove the search results showing it, so things should be OK again.  I apologize for this breach.

Please — if you notice something awry on this site, please send me an email at joseph@pfeifferfamily.net as quickly as possible — I can’t fix it if I don’t know it’s broken!

We will have a summer skeet league beginning in June and running through August shooting 4 rounds (100 targets) per month. The cost is $20 plus targets and covers the post league luncheon and associated door prizes. It is a two man team competition in addition to individual class scoring. Unlimited rounds may be shot in advance. To sign up for the league call Preston at 586-215-3060 or see him at the range. So grab a partner and start shooting or let us know and we will try to find a partner for you.

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

Sporting Clays will be held this coming Saturday, May 13, instead of the normal third Saturday of the month.

We will again have night shoots on the second Friday of each month this summer beginning in June

Due to a very limited number of teams signing up for the shoot, the shoot has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for July.

A memorial service for Robert Castro will be held at Getz Funeral Home on Saturday, March 18, at 10:00 AM

This coming Saturday is our annual Southern New Mexico Youth Clay Target Challenge and as such the range will be totally consumed with the youth shoot.  That means that there will not be any fields available for normal recreational shooting.
