Capitan Hi Power Shooting Range in New Mexico is a competition-focused, known-distance facility built around NRA High Power and F-Class shooting, suited to serious precision rifle and service rifle competitors.


CapiTan’s range environment is centered around traditional known-distance rifle competition rather than tactical-style field shooting, with structured firing lines supporting NRA High Power, CMP, 1,000-yard shooting range, and F-Class disciplines. The facility hosts frequent league weekends, regional matches, and state championships, fostering a strong competition culture year-round. ShotMarker electronic targets are used during High Power and F-Class events, giving shooters immediate shot feedback without pit pulling and making the range particularly well suited to load testing, score-focused practice, and disciplined wind work. The layout appears purpose-built around fixed-distance target lines, prone firing positions, and formal courses of fire, rather than barricades or practical rifle props. Smallbore prone and Mini Palma events are also heavily represented, adding a precision-focused atmosphere across multiple rifle disciplines. The overall feel is that of a dedicated rifle club built for shooters who value repeatable KD shooting, structured match preparation, and traditional marksmanship fundamentals.
Key Features:
Capitan best suits High Power competitors, F-Class shooters, CMP service rifle shooters, and precision rifle shooters focused on wind reading, score shooting, and match preparation rather than PRS-style positional training.
