  • No Public Trap Shooting Saturday 9/30

    Mesilla Valley Shotgun Sports is hosting the Noon Lions Club Trap Shoot this Saturday, September 30. They will use all of the trap fields, none will be available for use by members or the public.

    The skeet fields will be available and all fields will be open on Sunday.

  • Target Delivery — Thank you!

    Special thanks goes out to the 25 volunteers (17 adults and 8 kids) that made our target unloading on 9/10/23 a huge success. With great help we were able to offload, distribute and stock the trap, skeet and sporting
    clays with 22 pallets of targets, in a record time of 2 hours. The kids did the heavy lifting by stocking the skeet high houses!

    Also special thanks to our hauler, Wild West Express and our forklift provider, SunBelt Rentals. These companies have aided in our success for several years.

  • Target delivery Sunday, September 10

    The club is receiving a shipment of targets next week, 22 pallets that have to be distributed to all of the skeet and trap houses, and to the sporting clays storage containers.

    We need your help to get it done.

    We’ll have a forklift to unload the truck and distribute pallets to each location, then the individual boxes have to be moved inside by hand. The more hands we have, the easier it will be.

    We’ll meet at 8:00 AM, Sunday, September 10, and work until all the targets are put away.

    If you shoot at MVSS, consider this opportunity to help the club and the people who make it possible.
