There have been a few reports of over zealous ROs who are either doing the wrong things or have the wrong atti- tudes. Is there a problem, and if so, what should be done? 2) Pistol Caliber Cartridges in Long-range Rifle Competition. The Summit narrowly (56 to 50) approved deleting pistol caliber cartridges from the long-range rifle competition. Does this issue need to be readdressed? 3) Gamesmanship. One of the things that distinguishes Cowboy Action Shooting™ competitions from most other action shooting sports is role playing and "playing cowboys" as we did as kids.
