A Charter Club of the
Cowboy Mounted
Shooting Association
Last update: May 16, 2013
Have you ever watched an old Western movie and marveled as the hero galloped his horse across the screen with reins in one hand, firing off shots left and right? Ever wished you could try it? If the romance and excitement of the Old West are calling, then Cowboy Mounted Shooting might be just the sport for you!
Cowboy Mounted Shooting has become one of the fastest growing equestrian sports in the country. Blending such disciplines as reining, barrel racing, and horsemanship, the sport of mounted shooting requires teamwork between rider and horse. Using two .45 caliber revolvers and blank ammunition, the rider must be able to accurately shoot 10 balloon targets set in one of 60 different patterns while controlling his horse's speed and direction. Participants must dress in clothing replicating the 1880's or the B western movie era, making this a thrilling sport for spectators as well!
