Welcome to the Halter Center

Through the Halter Shooting Sports Education Center, Hillsdale College promotes the responsible and disciplined use of firearms in shooting sports for all ages by teaching fundamental safety and marksmanship; trains youth and collegiate athletes to compete at the highest levels; fosters intelligent patriotism, self-governance, and citizenship through teaching the U.S. Constitution; and supports American shooting sport success on the world stage in partnership with USA Shooting.

USA Shooting Partnership

In September 2019, Hillsdale College announced a new partnership with USA Shooting, the national governing body for American shooting sports. Through this partnership, the Halter Center is designated as the official Home of the USA Shooting National Team and sanctioned shooting sports development programs. In order to complete its designation, the College built four additional combination international bunker and skeet fields. As a result, Hillsdale College hosts World Cup championships, National Olympic and Paralympic team selection matches, championship regional qualifier matches, and International Grand Prix events.

It's another beautiful day at the range! When can we expect you?
