The 2010 C4C Dove Hunt will be a blast! The Annual Crosshairs for Christ dove hunt location has been set for the Rio Puerco west of Albuquerque.

Directions:

Soul Rio Church located in the Southern Plaza Shopping Center at the intersection of Southern & Unser in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.

Practice:

 Loosen up that itchy trigger finger with some practice this weekend South of San Ysidro with C4C.  We'll be at our usual place, if you've been shooting with us in the last year or so.  Bring some clays and a couple boxes of shells, and any other sporting arms you like. 

To get there, drive West on Hwy 550 to Cabezon Rd, just past the weigh station pulloff on the south side of the highway.  It's about 20 minutes from the Home Depot on Hwy 550 in Rio Rancho.  Make a left onto Cabezon Rd.  It has a green street sign you can see from the highway.  If you cross the bridge near the Perea Nature Trail, you've gone too far.  Immediately after leaving Hwy 550, veer left.  Follow Cabezon Rd. for 4.5 miles.  You'll cross a cattle guard and a BLM sign stating you are on public lands.  At 4.5 miles, you will top a small rise, and make a left onto a 4 track road.  We'll be at the end of the 4 track road about 1 mile off Cabezon Rd.

Just past the 4-track road, there's a parking lot for a mountain biking trailhead.

We'll be there Saturday morning 8 am until we're done. (probably lunch time)
