Mark Parmeter would like to know if anyone is interested in having a FITASC course set up on the weekend of May 9, 10.
If you are interested, please call Mark at 575-644-2687.
For more information on FITASC, see the description at https://mvss.pfeifferfamily.net/shotgun-sports/fitasc/ or the wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FITASC
This coming Saturday and Sunday, May 2nd and 3rd, we will have 5-Stand set up. As usual, if you are able to help with the setup we will be there around 7:30 Saturday morning. We will begin shooting by 9:00 a.m. and shutdown at noon. The cost is a token plus a dollar or $5 for members and $6 for non members.
We will have our 5-Stand set up this coming Saturday and Sunday April 4 and 5. Saturday will be to call your own target to work on ones that you might be having difficulty with or to see those “easy” ones turn to smoke. Set up will begin at 7:30 Saturday morning with shooting starting around 9:00, so anyone that can help, it would be appreciated.
In spite of what was on our calendar, the 4-H Shotgun competition along with other events is on Sunday, March 29 instead of April 4 where I had it. We will open the range at 9:00 on Sunday and will close at 1:00 or later when all the kids that are going to shoot have shot. About 10 kids will shoot one round of skrap on the combo field for their “hunter challenge” and about 25 kids will shoot two rounds of skeet and two rounds of trap. We could probably use a little help with pulling and scoring.
The range will also be open to members and general public for both skeet and trap.
Due to the overwhelming response, the trap shooting workshop presented by Doug Gray is closed to anymore participation.
For those of you who are signed up and ready to go, here are some reminders:
The senior Olympics trap shoot will be held this coming Saturday, March 21, beginning at 10:00. If you haven’t registered it is almost too late. Call John at 575-644-3936 and go by his shop to register today only.
Dona Ana County 4-H is having a fundraising trap shoot tomorrow, Saturday, March 7, with registration beginning at 9:00 a.m. We need a half dozen or so folks to pull, score, and to insure safety. If you are able to help, please call John Moen at 575-644-3936.
PS – Helpers will be provided lunch (Green Chile Cheeseburger)
On Wednesday April 1, 2015 a trapshooting clinic will be held at our club. This clinic will be presented by legendary trap shooter and shotgun dealer Doug Gray. The clinic will include instruction on proper stance, sight picture, and all the other pointers that we forget over the years. So if you are a newer shooter or an old pro who needs to remember the basics, this course may be for you.
The course will include everything from patterning to actual trap shooting.
The class cost is $35.00. Please bring your shotgun, plenty of ammo (at least 5 boxes of shells) and tokens for trap rounds.
In addition, Doug’s wife Susie, an authorized Decot Sport Glasses dealer, will be there if anyone is interested in purchasing quality shooting glasses. Class space is limited, so please sign up by March 22, 2015. Contact Rich Norton with questions or to sign up.

Tomorrow morning beginning at 9 a.m. Jim Chaput, Mark Parmeter, and Joe Fries will be installing our two new trap machines in the new trap fields.

If you are able to help, please email mvshotgunsports@comcast.net or call Joe at 575-642-2072. We should be through in a couple of hours.
