Mesilla Valley Shotgun Sports, Inc. was formed in August 2009 to oversee the development, operation, and maintenance of skeet, trap, and sporting clays ranges at the City of Las Cruces, New Mexico, Butterfield Shooting Range. This shooting range will provide the opportunity for a wide cross section of people to engage in shotgun sports both competitively and recreationally and provide the community in general and area youth in particular the opportunity to learn shotgun proficiency and gun safety.
