Mounted Justice


Cowboy Mounted Shooting is the fastest growing equine sport in the United States. Contestants use two .45 caliber single action revolvers loaded with five rounds of blank ammunition.  A competitor crosses the timing line, engages 5 targets, returns the empty revolver to the holster then draws the second revolver and engages the final 5 targets. Scoring is based on elapsed time plus a five second penalty for each missed target. This sport is open to men and women of all ages and horses of all breeds. It also includes a junior and wrangler division for kids. New participants compete against riders in their same level.  This is a sport that everyone can participate in
