BORN FROM THE DESERT, BUILT BY SHOOTERS

High Desert Sportsmen Association formed in May 2000 as a successor to the Sandia Skeet Club, which disbanded in 1998 at the request of Kirtland Air Force Base.

Today we operate at the City of Albuquerque Shooting Range Park — one of the premier public shooting facilities in the Southwest — hosting NSSA registered events and welcoming shooters of all experience levels.
