Cowboy Mounted Shooting

COWBOY MOUNTED SHOOTING ASSOCIATION
(CMSA) is one of the nation's fastest growing equestrian sports in America today. Mounted contestants from all 50 states and Canada come to compete in this fast-action timed event using two .45 caliber single action revolvers each loaded with five rounds of specially prepared black powder blank ammunition. Up to six courses of fire are set in a variety of patterns. The first half (five targets) of a course of fire will vary with each stage and could require the horse and rider to stop, turn, change leads or accelerate rapidly. The second half (5 targets), called the "run down," is a straight course with targets set at 32 foot intervals where riders engage the targets up to full gallop speeds. An average course of fire normally takes a contestant between 15 and 35 seconds to complete. For this competition, up to 6 stages are ran over 1-2 days and are then totaled to determine a winner in 6 different ability level s.. Adding to the excitement, participants all dress in authentic turn of the century costume (1860-1890). Their horses and gear are also consistent with period cowboy dress.
