Cowboy Action Shooting Etiquette

1. Come on time, and try to arrive early to assist in setting up.
2. Likewise, stay after to help tear down.
3. Pay attention during the Shooter's Meeting, don't spend that time talking with your buddies.
4. Put helping with posse chores over talking with your cronies.
5. Be willing to shoot in a rotation, don't whine about shooting first!
6. Accept misses and procedural penalties graciously. If you dispute a call, do so calmly and kindly.
7. Extend a hand to less experienced shooters
8. Respect the score-keeper's need to keep things in order and don't pester him/her to see other shooter's times.
9. Take each stage as it comes; don't wander off to see how the next stage is being shot.
10. Come to the loading table promptly when you are called.
11. Give the observers at the loading and unloading table time to properly verify the condition of your weapon. These people are our safety net!
12. Move crisply to the line and don't shadow-shoot the stage at the firing line.
13. Arrange your weapons and starting position to honor the intention of the stage directions without exploiting them to your own advantage.
14. Don't belittle other shooters' short comings unless of course you are heckling them in good fun, but make sure it's fun.
15. Apply the rulebook first to yourself, before going on to quote the rules for everyone else.
16. Always seek the good of the game, and the good of all who participate in it.

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership

   "In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...............There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.", Theodore Roosevelt, 1919
