[NRA Shooting Illustrated] Springfield Armory announced a partnership with Hillsdale College, a private, liberal-arts school in Hillsdale, MI, with a focus on equipping students with an understanding of the U.S. Constitution, individual rights and the concept of self-government.
As part of its curriculum, Hillsdale College offers students an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of firearm-handling and safety, as well as participate in the shooting sports, particularly in the form of its competitive shotgun and competition-pistol teams.
"When we were approached by Hillsdale College to sponsor their shooting team, you know, it was just an absolute, enthusiastic ’Yes!’" said Dennis Reese, CEO of Springfield Armory. "To me, it is exactly the kind of program that Springfield Armory is really interested in, and we outfitted the entire team with XD(M)s and 1911s." |
