This isn't just a range—it's an athlete development pipeline. The facility trains shooters competing in the Olympics, World Cups, and international championships. Derrick Mein, currently ranked #1 in the world for men's trap, trains here. The center also hosts:

New Nimrod Complex Coming Soon: Indoor/outdoor facility with 30 10-meter air gun lanes, 15 25-meter archery lanes, 24 50-meter outdoor rifle/pistol lanes, and 12 50-foot public pistol lanes.
All classes include safety equipment and instruction. Range is five miles from Hillsdale College campus; many students carpool with instructor assistance.

General Public: - Wednesday–Friday: 10 a.m.–4 p.m. - Saturday: 9 a.m.–4 p.m.
The Halter Center's mission extends to developing informed citizens. Classes and seminars on U.S. Constitutional rights and "intelligent patriotism" complement shooting instruction. The center trains athletes who represent America on the world stage while emphasizing responsible firearms use and democratic principles.
