Congratulations to all of the State Champions! BTW, there were MANY categories in which there wasn’t a New Mexico Champion. Either no championship was held in the State, no one qualified or ?? Lets try and bring more ribbons to New Mexico. If you compete in any of these categories, please work with your clubs and organizations to hold a championship so New Mexico can be recognized. As an aside, for many of the categories, only a few states were listed which means there are many other states holding less championships. Here is the list of categories and the number of states that did have a champion: OUTDOOR CONVENTIONAL POSITION – 7 INDOOR CONVENTIONAL POSITION – 5 OUTDOOR METRIC POSITION – 5 INDOOR METRIC POSITION – 8 Air Rifle 3-Position Precision – 2 Air Rifle 3-Position Sporter – 1 BB Gun – 5 High Power Rifle – Long Range – 9 Fullbore – 1 Black Powder Target Rifle – 2 Outdoor Precision Pistol – 19 Indoor Precision Pistol – 9 Action Pistol – 1 International Pistol – 2 Silhouette High Power Rifle/Hunting Rifle – 2 Silhouette Smallbore Rifle/Smallbore Hunting Rifle – 6 Silhouette Black Powder Cartridge Rifle (Iron and Scope) – 2 Silhouette Hunter’s Pistol – 2 Silhouette Hunter’s Pistol Metallic – 2 Silhouette Smallbore Hunter’s Pistol – 2 Silhouette Smallbore Hunter’s Pistol Metallic -2 Silhouette Smallbore Lever Action Rifle – 5 Silhouette Lever Action – 3 Silhouette Pistol Cartridge Lever Action – 4 Silhouette Smallbore Cowboy Rifle – 3 Seems NM doesn’t compete in silhouette at all as we had no champions in the 11 categories.

Last Thursday, March 14, the New Mexico House passed SB 328, sending it to the desk of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. This bill goes beyond federal law by removing certain individuals’ Second Amendment rights. It broadens the scope of misdemeanor offenses, prohibiting individuals of the possession, purchase, and ownership of firearms. Click the take action link below to contact the Governor and strongly urge her to veto SB 328.

Donate part of your state tax refund to help wildlifeSANTA FE – Want to help wildlife in need of conservation? It’s as easy as filling out a line on your state tax return to donate some of your tax refund to the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Share with Wildlife program. Since its inception in 1981, the Share with Wildlife program has funded many projects and organizations. A long-term recipient of funds is the New Mexico Wildlife Center, a nonprofit in Española where sick and injured animals receive veterinary care, treatment and rehabilitation before being released back into the wild. The program also funds research, especially on species lacking information needed in order for species conservation and management efforts to proceed. Focal species for 2019 include the Bendire’s thrasher, an elusive bird found in the southwestern corner of the state, and the Peñasco least chipmunk, which is found only in mountain ranges in southeastern New Mexico. “People who contribute to the Share with Wildlife program make all these wildlife projects possible,” said Ginny Seamster, the department’s Share with Wildlife program coordinator. Donations to the program are matched by federal dollars to maximize the support for wildlife. More than $1.7 million has gone to research, habitat enhancement, education and rehabilitation projects in the past 10 years. All donations fund projects, not program administration. The program is reliant upon donations, especially through tax refund contributions. To donate part of your state tax refund just fill out line 2 of PIT-D, the voluntary contributions schedule. Visit the state Taxation and Revenue Department at www.tax.newmexico.gov for tax forms and instructions. Donations also can be made directly to the program or by purchasing a Share with Wildlife license plate from the Motor Vehicle Division. Please visit the department’s website at www.wildlife.state.nm.us/share for more information or contact Seamster at (505) 476-8111 or virginia.seamster@state.nm.us.
