Mounted Shooting

The Mounted Shooting playlist below currently contains 36 documentary videos recorded over four years in the #AmericanHeartlands. The latest series is from a CMSA-sanctioned competition in Queen Creek, Arizona.

As far as I know, there are two mounted shooting organizations in the USA. I first discovered the Cowboy Mounted Mounted Shooting Association (CMSA) because they hold their World Finals competition in my hometown of Amarillo, Texas. Then, by pure luck, I discovered the United States Mounted Shooting (USMS) while covering other stuff in Vernon, Texas.

The full playlist of all the mounted shooting is viewable below, but I would like to highlight a special exhibition run during the most recent USMS shooting competition because it was the only time I saw it. The shooter is Moon Swanson, the host of the 1836 Chuckwagon Race on the Diamond B Ranch near Neches, Texas. 

If you are new to the sport of mounted shooting I recorded a video that will teach you some of the basics.

The youngest mounted shooters are called Wranglers and the example below shows how they perform during competition.

Now here is the full playlist starting with the most recent videos.

You may see several events on the same day. I can only pick one to go next depending on where I was located during the prior event I attended. Fuel is expensive these days!
