Hillsdale College is a private Christian liberal arts college located in south-central Michigan. We offer one of the highest quality and most rigorous educations in the country even though we accept no funding from state or federal governments. As defenders of the US Constitution and the Second Amendment, it also makes sense that we have deep involvement in the shooting sports.
Hillsdale built, owns, and operates the John A. Halter Shooting Sports Education Center located about 5 miles from campus. The 113-acre facility offers trap, skeet, sporting clays, and the Olympic disciplines in addition to rifle, pistol, and archery opportunities.
