  • Limited Public Shooting This Weekend

    Mesilla Valley Shotgun Sports is hosting the New Mexico High School Clay Target Association’s state-wide event on January 12, 13, and 14. Nearly a hundred young shooters from all over New Mexico will participate in skeet, trap (including handicap and doubles), and sporting clays. We hosted this event in December, 2022, it was very successful, and the largest event MVSS has ever held.

    For that reason, there will be no public trap, skeet, or sporting clays on Saturday, and only limited availability of one or two skeet fields on Sunday.

  • 5-Stand Saturday January 6

    The 5-Stand field will be open on Saturday, January 6, from 9:00 AM until noon.

  • Club Trap and Skeet Leagues

    I am sorry but it doesn’t seem to be enough interest in a skeet league to move forward at this time. Some feedback I have received suggested we do it when it’s warmer. I will follow up in a couple of months.
    Club trap shoot is moving ahead with a slight variations. Each month we will shoot on Wednesday or Sunday. I will get this posted to calendar soon. You will shoot 50 targets on one of those days. Winners will be decided at the end of second day each month.

  • Range Open Tuesday January 2

    The range will be open January second (and of course as usual Wednesday January third). Start time Tuesday will be 9:30, and can go to around 2:30 if there is interest. Please let Preston (586-215-3060) know if you’re interested in shooting on the second.

  • RIP Michael Slugaj

    In loving memory of Michael Slugaj, we are saddened to announce his passing on December 22, 2023. Our prayers go out to the Slugaj family. Mike was an avid shotgunner and loved the game of skeet. He was recently recognized by the National Skeet Shooting Association for shooting 50,000 registered targets. We all loved to shoot with Mike because of his humor and gamesmanship. Mike will greatly be missed and will forever remain on our squad.
