• Stimulate and educate members and the public in their knowledge of the history and production of the L.C. Smith shotgun.
  
  
• Encourage creation of a L.C. Smith museum.
  
  
• Encourage the value of good sportsmanship to shooter and collector members and the public.
  
  
• Promote a positive, responsible use of firearms to members and the public.
