Cowboy Mounted Shooting is the fastest growing equestrian sport in the nation. Mounted contestants compete in this fast action timed event using two .45 caliber single action revolvers each loaded with five rounds of specially prepared blank ammunition. These are just like the stage props used in
Hollywood movies.

There are a variety of levels of competition for everyone, ranging from novice levels to the seasoned professional.

Mounted Shooting is like barrel racing with balloons in between the barrels. The rider shoots black powder blank cartridges from .45 caliber pistols, at balloons, and is scored on accuracy and time.

Come ride with us or just come out to watch and join in the spirit of the old west. There is something for everyone! Contact us today to find out how you can be a part of
this exciting sport.
