This joint resolution from the Montana Legislature urges the Board of Regents and the units of the Montana University System to support the establishment of collegiate shooting sports. It highlights Montana's rich tradition of firearms use and the absence of shooting sports as recognized intercollegiate activities within the university system. The resolution points out that many talented shooters from Montana are currently pursuing scholarships at out-of-state institutions due to the lack of local opportunities. It emphasizes the safety record of shooting sports and their potential to foster academic excellence among participants.

The resolution calls for the Montana University System to adopt shooting sports competitions, utilize university resources, and collaborate with external entities to facilitate these activities. Additionally, it encourages the development of endowments and scholarships for students involved in shooting sports. The Secretary of State is tasked with sending copies of the resolution to the Board of Regents and leaders of public colleges and universities in Montana to promote awareness and support for this initiative.
