Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association (CMSA) is one of the fastest growing equine sports in the country.
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 you join us! |
