Hillsdale College Halter Center Hosts Neon Shoots
Proceeds from the shooting events benefit the Halter Clay Crushers SCTP team.
HILLSDALE, Mich. — Hillsdale College’s John Anthony Halter Shooting Sports Education Center hosted its second Neon Night on Dec. 14.
“Think glow-in-the-dark bowling, but with shotguns,” said Range Manager Matt Little. “These Neon Nights are a great opportunity for community members to support our local youth shooting sports while enjoying a dynamic night on the range.”
