The Rocky Mountain Vintagers have scheduled another great weekend of shooting double guns, great fellowship, and plenty of good food (and evening beverages) at the incomparable facilities of the NRA Whittington Center near Raton, New Mexico. Probably some of the greatest views to be found in America. Nestled in the foothills of the Rockies to the west and almost limitless views of the great American prairie and the Santa Fe trail provide a spectacular background. And the three sporting clay courses abound in wildlife. Not unusual to have to wait a few minutes on a station while antelope or deer graze by! Very comfortable lodging. But great motels are also available in Raton, seven miles away. This is always my favorite shoot for the year and this is our 15 this year. All have been amazing and we have people traveling from a number of other states to join the activities and some hang around to enjoy the high country pines. Beautiful country! Come join us! This is not a fancy shoot and no scores are kept so lie to your hearts content.  April 22-24, 2022. ![[Linked Image from jpgbox.com]](https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/68048_1181x1307.jpg)

Yes, I’ll be there too. This is our 15th annual gathering. Lovely venue, great people and lots of fine doubles to admire. Anyone interested in seeing and shooting vintage double guns should not miss this event! I promise you won’t be disappointed.

I would be interested in this event but at that time I will be in North Carolina at the Southern Side by Side Classic. Maybe if it was later in the year I could make it.

We have in the past held our event in the summer. Too many conflicts. Summer kids shooting events, summer adventure camps, “He-man” shoots, family vacations, etc. plus there is the heat…
Cannot please everyone but we are trying our best to avoid a time when MANY people are using the facilities.

We are so blessed that men such as yourselves work so hard to make it possible for all of us shotgun officianados to have MORE shoots per season than we can possibly attend.
I just wanted to say thanks.
Out there doing it best I can.

Thank you CZ. It IS a lot of work but always worth it. I’ve been organizing this event for 15 years now and it’s a great load of fun for all who attend.

Not exactly sure but it includes lots of modern black guns and testosterone.
