The Inouye Marksmanship Center is a 12,000 square foot shooting range located on the campus of The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina. It is home to NCAA Division I The Citadel Bulldogs rifle team, as well as the club pistol team, The Citadel's ROTC programs, and the South Carolina National Guard.[1] The range is named for Senator Daniel Inouye, who secured federal funding for the facility in 2002.[2]

The facility hosted the 2017 Southern Conference rifle championships, as well as the annual Southeastern Air Rifle Conference championships from 2012–2016, and will host the 2018 NCAA Rifle Championships.[3][4][5]
