One of the nation’s fastest growing equestrian sports in the country, Cowboy Mounted Shooting is a combination of Wild West Show exhibition shooting, cavalry drills, reining competition, barrel racing and historical reenactment. All competitors wear period clothing which creates a festive and informal atmosphere of the late 19th century. The rider shoots black powder blank cartridges from .45 caliber pistols, at balloons, and is scored on accuracy and time.
