We are sorry to report the passing of Doug Coulter, 76, of San Antonio on February 20 after a short battle with cancer. His long-time friend T.D. Berkes III recalled him as “a great person, a great friend, and a long-time shooter who was a true ambassador to skeet.” Since joining NSSA in 1972, Doug registered over 280,000 lifetime targets. He was honored as the 1997 inductee into the Armed Forces Hall of Fame, won many championships (including winning the last 250-target 12-Gauge event for the 12-Gauge Open World Championship title in 2009), and was named to many All-American teams throughout his career.
“I am proud to have shot with him, proud to call him my friend, and was privileged to have known him for nearly 50 years,” said Berkes. “He will be buried forever in the best of all places, in the hearts of us who knew him.”
NSSA extends its sincere condolences to Doug’s many friends and family members.
