Fresh air. Mountain views. Sporting clays.
Find your next
favorite challenge.
Four sporting clays courses, Five Stand, and Wobble Trap—all in the beautiful foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
From your first broken clay to a more challenging round, there’s an experience here for you.
Choose your course
Four courses. Your kind of round.
Explore the mountain from station to station, with different target presentations and a challenge suited to your experience.
Start with success
Valley Course
An excellent place to get started or receive instruction. Targets are set closer and move more slowly, giving new shooters a welcoming introduction and a better opportunity to successfully smash clays.
A relaxed introduction
Pines Course
A relaxed setting with toned-down versions of popular sporting clays shots. Try incoming, outgoing, and crossing targets, along with the trampoline shot and dueling rabbits.
Build your confidence
Ridge Course
Designed for beginner to intermediate shooters, the Ridge Course offers a full round of sporting clays with varied presentations along the way.
Take on the challenge
Trail Course
For intermediate to advanced shooters, the Trail Course offers a more challenging round as you work your way through 14 shooting stations.
More ways to enjoy the mountain
Warm up. Mix it up. Challenge a friend.
Variety at every window
Five Stand
Up to five shooters take their places at five shooting windows as a variety of targets are presented. Warm up before a course round or enjoy some friendly competition to see who earns the top score.
A fast-paced challenge
Wobble Trap
Take on varying trap targets from an oscillating trap machine at our mountain-view deck near the lodge. It’s a lively challenge on its own and another way to warm up for the sporting clays courses.
