The Halter Shooting Sports Education Center

The Halter Shooting Sports Education Center’s purpose is to expose a new generation to shooting sports, encourage older shooters to return to the sport, and to bring the ideas of liberty to life. This is a mission unmatched by any school in the country.

The evening lectures were both interesting and informative. They provided me with a great perspective of the Founding of America, education, and formation of the Constitution. –Beryl Barber, NY
