Established in 1919, the club started with a rifle range but quickly evolved. Today, club president Wayne Saling says Columbiana includes four trap fields along with other offerings. But Columbiana is not just a range— it's a vibrant community center fostering a passion for the outdoors across generations. Columbiana boasts a 40-by-50 foot clubhouse with a kitchen.

While past initiatives like ROTC programs and annual "Kids Day " events yielded valuable experiences, the club discovered a more sustainable path – the Ohio State High School Clay Target League. Recognizing the League's poten- tial, Wayne and the crew spearhead- ed the creation of the Beaver Local High School Trap Team.
