Clement’s impressive performance included a pair of 1.80 string times and 7.6-second final time for the “Go Fast” stage in the 1911 division, along with a 1.82-second string time in center-fire division for the same stage.

For the 1911 division victory, Hillsdale shooters were using Springfield Armory 1911 pistol models. As for the second-place finish in stock service pistol division, again it was with Springfield Armory guns, but this time the team was shooting the company’s popular XDM Elite pistols.

Boasting a co-ed lineup of talented student-athletes, the Hillsdale Varsity Action Shooting team includes Head Coach Adam Burlew and three U.S. military veterans. The 2022 SASP College Nationals was the team’s first national competition as the varsity level, also marking its fourth overall.

To prepare for the big matches the team was planning to attend this year, Hillsdale College action shooters began a training regimen during the fall 2021 semester that included both dry-fire and live-fire practice drills.

During the last decade, Hillsdale College has expanded its reach in the world of shooting sports, and that’s not just limited to action shooting. Regular Shooting Sports USA readers will remember last year when Hillsdale College hosted the USA Shooting National Olympic Skeet and Trap Championships at its John Anthony Halter Shooting Sports Education Center.
