I met Bart Spieth from Hillsdale College at NRAAM. They are interested in hosting events at their range. I understand they have a top notch facility on campus and Bart would like someone to follow up with him. I believe someone from Appleseed has been in touch with them in the past, though I'm not sure where it was left.
Here are his contact details:

Yes, we have had conversations with Hillsdale in the past. To date, nothing fruitful has come of them.
We will contact Bart asap.
Also, they have an excellent series of FREE online history classes. I think "the Federalist Papers" is the next one coming out. O0
Hillsdale is doing their part to save the country in their own way. They believe that will come from educating Americans in the Constitution. I believe over 500,000 have already taken their free online course. I think that this dovetails very nicely with Appleseed and I hope that we'll be able to host events there. I'm looking forward to working events ther! Anyone interested in their Constitution class can sign up here:

I was at the Hillsdale Fall Seminar and Shoot last fall.
The range is a great one but the rifle and pistol side were lagging the shotgun ranges at that time.
The plans for both and some indoor ranges look very good.
Hillsdale holds a Ladies For Liberty camp for women. The 2nd Amendment and shooting
are part of it.
Also starting up a Couples Camp along the same lines with pistol and shotgun instruction.
We got the info but decided we couldn't afford it at this time.
The Fall Shoot is doable, however, if it doesn't conflict too hard with Michigan's grouse season.
Last year it didn't.
Hillsdale also had scholarships for shooters. If you have a son or daughter interested in doing shooting sports
in college Hillsdale is worth a look.
Like ITB said, we've talked with Bart for the last 2 years about doing something to no avail. Hopefully good thing will come to those who wait this time.

I hope this happens! I'm a big fan of Hillsdale....
I have made several attempts at contacting Mr. Spieth. So far, he had not responded to emails, voice mails, etc. I will keep trying, but........
I met with Bart Spieth this morning on the range at Hillsdale College. An event will likely happen in 2016 for them. They are also interested in a LibertySeed this fall for an annual on Campus event.
Nice job, GW!
Isn't that a line from one of my favorite, politically-incorrect movies of all time? McLintock!
