Founders Day and Members Appreciation Day
October 3, 2026
To celebrate our 15th year of operation
Please join us at 9:00 AM on Saturday, October 3, 2026, to celebrate everything we’ve done since the range opened on October 8, 2011.
This will be a fun shoot – two rounds of trap or skeet, or one of each. The machines will have flash targets mixed with regular targets, whoever breaks one will receive a token.
Everyone gets lunch – a green chile cheeseburger, potato salad, chips, and a drink, and additional lunch tickets can be purchased for $5.00 We’ll serve from 11:00 until 12:30, or the food runs out.
All of this for $12 or two tokens. Please join us.
The flyer is available at 2026-founders-day
We are moving the “Bag a Bird” shoot to November 13-15. The weekend it was on before was NMSU Homecoming!

November 22 will be our last skeet club shoot and luncheon for 2026. The October date will be a normal club shoot as we have had to cancel 2 shoots.
Also — as two shoots had to be canceled, for this year we are only requiring shooters to have participated in two prior shoots this season in order to participate in the final.
The Chaparral Skeet Club
and the
NEW MEXICO SKEET SHOOTING ASSOCIATION
Present the
79th NEW MEXICO SKEET CHAMPIONSHIPS
October 16-18, 2026
Roswell, New Mexico
Note: As many of you know the New Mexico Skeet Shooting Association is trying to provide the New Mexico High School Clay Target Association (NMHSCTA) shooters the opportunity to participate in this event. If you are able, please try to shoot the doubles on Friday morning and the 12 gauge on Friday afternoon this will give the NMHSCTA shooters a chance to travel Friday morning, shoot doubles Friday afternoon and then shoot 12 gauge on Saturday morning. Below is picture of the gold, silver, and bronze medals that will be awarded to the top 3 NMHSCTA shooters in both the junior and sub-junior concurrent events. The SCTP medalists will be determined by adding both the doubles score and the 12-gauge score together.
The flyer is available at 2026-state-program

Members and Friends,
Our facility was established in 2011 and continues to operate thanks to the thousands of volunteer man hours donated by our members. Over the past couple of years we have lost many of our volunteers. Some have moved away and some, quite frankly, have just got too old to help! We need volunteers to open and run the trap and skeet ranges, along with volunteers to help with the sporting clays and 5 stand.
Please review this letter which summarizes the duties a volunteer would have. If you would like to help, please reach out to the person listed for that venue.
Thank you,
Phillip Pruett
President
