Del Monte Gun Club

Del Monte Gun Club started as a trap shooting facility back in 1948 and has grown into one of Colorado's most popular shooting destinations. The club moved to its current location in the late 1960s and added the sporting clay course in 2002, followed by a restroom and dining facility in 2004. They're now operating on Alamosa County property as part of the Alamosa Community Park.

The course is centrally located in the San Luis Valley between Alamosa and Monte Vista, nestled between the Sangre de Cristo and San Juan mountain ranges. They've expanded electrical plug-in locations for RV trailers, making it easy to plan a shooting weekend while exploring the valley's attractions.

Del Monte hosts shoots that draw participants from across five counties — Alamosa, Rio Grande, Mineral, Saguache, and Conejos, plus out-of-valley shooters. They work with 4-H groups, the Colorado Division of Wildlife, and Adams State Shooting Club. School clubs and civic organizations often serve meals at events as fundraisers, helping local groups advance their projects.

• •Notable fact: Many other shooting locations in Colorado wait for Del Monte's annual schedule before setting their own because this facility is that popular.

The entire club is operated by volunteer labor from club members. They're a non-profit corporation registered with the Colorado Secretary of State since May 28, 1948.
