Picture to the right is our the president of PRP, Tim Delsman at last years Shootout in the Blues at the Elgin Stampede Grounds.

Picture below is Jim Witherspoon at the Shootout in the Blues, hitting his balloon.

Cowboy mounted shooting is a combination of reining, barrel racing, and horsemanship, while shooting at balloon targets. The rider carries two .45 caliber revolvers loaded with blanks designed to burst a balloon. While controlling his horse’s direction and speed, he must shoot 10 balloon targets set in one of many different patterns. Each gun is loaded with 5 rounds. After shooting the first 5 balloons, he holsters one gun, draws the second and goes after the last 5 balloons. All of this is done non-stop and as fast as the rider can manage. Riders are scored on time and accuracy. You get seconds added to your time for things like missing a balloon, dropping your gun, running the course incorrectly and/or falling off your horse.If you think this could be fun and quite a challenge we would love to have yo join us!
