What is Cowboy Mounted Shooting?
Cowboy
Mounted Shooting® is one of the nation’s fastest growing and most exciting
equestrian sports. The contests combine
the skills of marksmanship and horsemanship.
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. The first
half of a course has 5 targets in a variety of patterns that require the horse
and rider to stop, turn, change leads, and accelerate rapidly. The second half,
called the "run down", is a straight course with 5 targets set at 36
foot intervals.
More
details can be found at the CMSA FAQ.
