Prospect Hall is a private hunting and shooting club that encourages youth and families and their guests to enjoy America's greatest tradition together, from initiation shooting sports to the expert wing shooter. We are dedicated to sustaining a membership level that is designed to avoid overcrowding and undue difficulty in booking activities. We also strive to make one's experience comfortably convenient and every member to enjoy a private getaway. The Club is open all year, seven days a week, and a light is always on in the window.
Upland Style Hunts:
Prospect Hall specializes in upland style bird hunts September 1
through April 30. These hunts are guided, permitting us to cater to the
inexperienced, as well as the experienced hunter. Our intensely managed
game habitat is made up of various all-natural covers such as grain
fields, grasses, thickets, fence rows and forested ravines. Members,
with their own dogs, are permitted and encouraged to bring them on a
hunt. We stock only the highest quality quail, pheasant and the
exotic chukar and Hungarian partridge. This provides large numbers of
hard flying game birds for the hunting enjoyment of our members and
their guests. *A hunting license is required and can be purchased from
our office or online: www.wvdnr.com. Complete bird dressing and
packaging is provided.
The Continental: (European Style Shooting)
Another release bird shoot is offered to members and their guests:
placing twelve to twenty-four hunters in blinds in a large circle
around a hill. From the top of the hill pheasants, chukars and
Huns are released. Many of the birds will circle over the
blinds and provide action for more than one blind. Following the
release of several clutches of birds the hunters are rotated around the
circle of blinds. The shot variety afforded in this event is infinite.
Rifle and Pistol Area:
We have up to a 600 yard rifle range where you can sight in your rifle of choice for your next big-game hunt.
Clay Target Shooting:
The popularity of sporting clays in the United States has grown
enormously in recent years. It provides fun and competition to any
level of shooter. Sporting clays let one experience simulated hunting
shots like pheasant, quail, grouse, duck, and rabbit. The course is
considered challenging and undergoes regular changes by staff so as to
maintain that challenge. It is made up of 24 stations and is
majestically laid out in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. One
can walk or ride a cart around the course. Sporting clays is a great
way to spend quality time with friends, family, and business
associates. We also have a "Crazy Teal" clay target game that has
consistently challenged some of the sport's best shooters, together
with the traditional skeet and trap fields. Our skeet field can shoot
both International Skeet or Traditional/American Skeet. The trap field
can shoot ATA or Double Trap.
