Hillsdale College Holds Dedication for Ailes Action Shooting Range

HILLSDALE, Mich. — Hillsdale College held the dedication for its Ailes Action Shooting Range on Monday, Sept. 30. The construction was made possible through a leadership gift by Elizabeth Ailes. The range features five 30-yard pistol bays, a 40-yard pistol bay, and a 100-yard rifle bay.
“The shooting sports stand for the independence of the human being, for the responsibility of the human being,” said Hillsdale College President Larry P. Arnn. “Elizabeth Ailes and others have helped us pursue this activity as an act of love. We are grateful to them, and we are very proud of our shooting sports teams.”
