After watching the "Top Shot" on the History Channel a while back, we got to thinking that we should and could have lots more fun seeing who is the "Top Shot Team," here in our little shooting circle of Silver City, Deming and Las Cruces. Email Hole In The Wall Team Shoot or call 575-534-9285 or 575-388-8186 for additional information or if you have questions about the shoot.

This will be a team event, with only 15 teams spots available. So sign up early and pick your own team. Each team member will shoot the same course of fire for each event. While one member of the team is shooting the other will be spotting/coaching. It will be a shooter/coach arrangement. Cost will be $50.00 per team plus range fees, $10.00. Range fees will be paid the day of the shoot. Please make checks payable to the Top Team Shoot Out and drop them off at the Hole In The Wall Range. All teams must be registered and paid by April 10, 2011. Trophies will be award for First, Second and Third place winners, along with cash prizes for First $75.00, Second, $50.00 and Third, $25.00.

The Top Shot Shoot will be held at the Hole In The Wall Range and will be completed in one (1) day, May 21, 2011. Mandatory Safety Meeting will be at 8 AM with first rounds down range at 8:15 AM. A light lunch will be served to all shooters and guests.
