Harvard Shooting

About Us

Founded in 1883, the Harvard Shooting Club (HSC) was one of the oldest student organizations at Harvard and among the earliest collegiate organizations to provide students with the opportunity to participate safely and competitively in the shooting sports. For the next six years, no undergraduate student organization at Harvard provided any opportunities for firearm safety education and

training in the shooting sports. In the fall of 2009, a group of enthusiastic Harvard undergraduates revived the inactive Harvard Shooting Club. With help from the leadership at the Harvard Law School Target Shooting Club, the undergraduates organized an executive board, drafted a constitution and bylaws, successfully sought out two faculty advisers and a head coach, and set forth a concrete plan for reviving and expanding the presence of safe and competitive shooting sports at Harvard. Over the next academic year, the HSC and its officers worked with the university to obtain official recognition, applied for funding from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, publicized its presence on campus via a variety of media outlets, and organized numerous diverse events for both recreational and competitive shooting sports. Today, the Harvard Shooting Club consists of nearly 400 affiliates from a variety of backgrounds. At its core is the Harvard Shooting Team (HST), with over 50 dues-paid members who regularly participate in team practices and state/national competitions. We host regular shotgun trap/skeet outings, as well as pistol/rifle target shooting events and the occasional recreational paintball brawl. Mission Statement

Our mission is to promote and expand the collegiate shooting program at Harvard University. We aim to help establish various shooting sports as lifelong passions both recreationally and competitively. We seek to reach out to the entire student body and enable active participation for the largest possible number of students in a safe and informed setting. We strive to promote firearm responsibility and develop clubs and teams that will foster ongoing relationships within the college community and beyond.
