It is a Rocky Mountain Vintagers shoot. I am not actually a member. I am just crashing the party along with FlintSteel. Here is a copy of the text from the PDF file that was forwarded to me.

Rocky Mountain Vintagers Shoot
at Ohkay Casino Sporting Clays Club
The Event
All Rocky Mountain Vintagers and their guests are invited to a shoot
at the Ohkay Sporting Clays Club on Saturday, June 9th.
The Club is a small but good local range located just east of the
Ohkay Casino, north of Española, New Mexico. It has good target
presentations on an interesting course, with lots of topography. The
club may be reached at (505) 670-4022
The Club has a wobble trap, a skeet field, and a 12-station sporting
clays range. Range fees for sporting clays are $35. Wobble trap and
skeet are $5 per round.
Vintagers should arrange to meet at the clubhouse at 12 PM on
Saturday for snacks. We will squad-up for clays at 1 PM. Vintagers
may shoot clays, trap or skeet earlier on Saturday or on Sunday
before going home.
Dinner
Dinner will be held at 7 PM at a near-by local New Mexican
restaurant. The guest speaker will be Grant Beauprez, game bird
biologist, who will present a talk and slide show on Western Prairie
Grouse.
Where To Stay
Vintagers and their guests may arrive Friday night or Saturday
morning. You may book a room at the Resort. Ask for the “Shoot and
Stay” package. Contact the Resort at (888) 664-9396. The price is for
two people, one shooter. If two shooters share a room, the additional
target fee for the other shooter is $25.
Vintagers may choose to stay at one the many motels in Santa Fe,
about 25 miles away. Here is the link to some of the Santa Fe’s less
expensive accommodations: http://www.santafe.org/lodging/, go to
lodging, “Driving Distance to Plaza”.
Art Abounds in Santa Fe and Taos
Non-shooters can carpool to Santa Fe or Taos on Saturday or Sunday. Remember, Santa Fe is now
the second largest art market in the Western Hemisphere!

How To Get There
The Ohkay Sporting Clays Club is located off Highway 68, north of Española.
Traveling from Denver, drive I-25 south to Santa Fe. Exit north at the St. Francis exit (US 285-84).
Continue north on US 285 about 25 miles to Española. As you enter Española, continue north on NM
68 toward Taos. Drive approximately 4 miles and look for the Ohkay Casino on the east side of the
highway. The Club is located just north and east of the Casino on the San Juan Pueblo, just follow the
signs. Total driving time from Denver is about 6 hours.
An alternative route from Denver (and possibly quicker) would be to take I-25 south to Walsenburg,
CO. Turn southwest on US 160 and go over La Vita Pass. At Fort Garland turn south on CO 159.
CO 159 becomes NM 522. Head south, driving through the village of Taos. Continue following
NM 68-522 south about 40 miles to the Casino.

Best,

Mike
