The namesake for the 10-time NCAA National Rifle Champions' home range (E.F. Horton Rifle Range), Horton contributed to the success of All-Americans like Bartholomew. Horton coached the UAF rifle team for seven years (1960-67), when he helped the women's team capture three consecutive National Championships. He mentored several All-American shooters, including fellow inductees Bartholomew and Joe Nava, as well as Stuart Watkins, David Summerfeldt, John Penman, Neil Ecklund and Candace Keyes. He is also responsible for increasing shooting interest at the University by beginning a marksman course for college credit.
