Black Creek, GA- Daniel Defense, engineering and manufacturing the world's finest firearms, precision rail systems and accessories, Friday announced that it has made contributions in the form of rifles and accessories for the new Shooting Sports Education Center located on Georgia Southern's campus in Statesboro, GA.

Friday, the Georgia Southern community together with elected officials from across the state celebrated the opening of the new state-of-the-art Shooting Sports Education Center (SSEC) with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

Following the ceremony, visitors enjoyed self-guided tours of the instructional facility, which will serve as a hub for archery and sport shooting in southeast Georgia. Members of the University's NCAA Women's Rifle Team participated in demonstrations of the firing range and members of the Women's Club Archery Team were on hand to answer questions about the archery center.

The Shooting Sports Education Center is a partnership with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. The 30,000 square foot facility is open to the public and equipped to serve a variety of shooting sports interests through the 16-lane, 25-meter firing range, and 16-lane, 25-meter archery center, as well as two training/seminar rooms.

The SSEC is the only facility of its kind on a college campus dedicated to providing exceptional education in archery and firearms, and to developing the knowledge and skills necessary to enjoy lifelong participation in shooting sports. Instructional programs, training classes, recreation, competition, and special events allow youth, adults, students, law enforcement, hunters, first-time shooters, elite athletes and other groups to participate in and learn more about archery and sport shooting. The facility also provides a much-needed indoor space for the University's championship-winning archery club team and the University's women's varsity NCAA rifle team to practice and host competitions with seating for visitors.
