Reminder: Coal Ridge Sporting Clays (Weirton, WV) is set to host its annual Veterans Day shoot this Saturday, November 7, 2026. The event will feature 100 targets, 4-person golf carts, coffee and donuts at check-in, snacks on the course, smoked beef brisket lunch with sides and dessert, and soft drinks—all for $100 + tax. (A meal-only option is available for $35 + tax.)
In addition, their 5-Stand and Wobble trap will be open after the shoot, along with the clubhouse and Lost Bird bar.
“Come enjoy a day of shooting and help us honor all who have served our country. A portion of all proceeds will be donated to a local veterans organization. Call our office at 304-670-8919 to register!”
In addition, there’s still time to book a lesson at Coal Ridge with world class wing-shooter and nationally-acclaimed NSCA level III certified instructor Marty Fischer. Marty is an expert at working with shooters of all levels. Due to repeat bookings and satisfied students, very limited appointments are still available the week 11/11/2026 through 11/14/2026. Call Coal Ridge at 304-670-8919 for pricing and more information.
I had the pleasure of visiting the Nemacolin Rod & Range Club for a work event on Friday, and it’s really disappointing this facility is no longer open to the public. This range is a bit exclusive, as it's now only open to Nemacolin members and those staying overnight at the resort. It's a shame because it used to welcome members of the Keystone Ramblers too. Despite that, the courses are a blast, and if you ever get the chance, I definitely recommend giving it a try.
Fall is a great time to be outdoors breaking clays!

What is sporting clays?
Sporting clays courses are designed to simulate the hunting of ducks, pheasants, other upland birds, and even rabbits. Targets may be thrown from literally any angle or distance to simulate wingshooting, and six different sizes of clay targets are used to further give the shooter the experience of actual hunting conditions.
