Every other team/activity on campus has a coach/teacher. They deserve one too.

I support this program and others like it. I would like to point out to those concerned the huge mistake you are making by associating this activity with criminal behavior. The two have nothing to do with each other.

A correlation between gun crime and clay target shooting sports is absurd. My duaghter is considere Simpson because they have a team.

The club is popular so obviously students are interested in this activity. Shooting is a sport bonafide sport and the participants and leaders should not be vilified because of some fear driven individuals.

Teaching responsible attitudes and actions should be part of school policy. This should extend to every facet of adult life, be it social, financial, or automobile and firearm ownership and use.
I urge the Board of Trustees to go forward with your plans to expand the shooting sports program at Simpson College.

Most gun owners today don't live on a farm or have a hill to shoot at. They need a club like this.

I see no reason to oppose the existence of a club dedicated to the safe, lawful pursuit of the shooting sports, which are proud to be sanctioned by the international and U.S. Olympic Committees. Confusing the club's activities with those of criminals as part of the "gun culture" is like lumping NASCAR drivers and drunk drivers into the "car culture." Good luck to the Simpson College Shooting Sports Club!
