Cowboy Mounted Shooters Team Registry

If you compete in Mounted Shooting events through any of the Mounted Shooting Associations, the CMS Team Registry is for you! The Cowboy Mounted Shooters Team Registry was created with the horse and rider team in mind. Together you train, together you compete, and together you succeed in one of the fastest growing equestrian sports in the World!

Now you can combine your overall scores from matches sanctioned by any of the recognized mounted shooting associations under one award program to receive recognition for Mounted Shooting! Through our team registry, you’ll not only compete as the rider that you are, but also by the relationship and horsemanship skills you’ve built with your shooting horse.

In addition to the team points, The Mounted Shooting Horse Certification adds another level to Mounted Shooting recognition; one designed specifically for your horse. Watch your horse’s certification level grow as you add points to your team score. Receive certificates and plaques designating the level of certification achieved.

It’s never too late in the season to register.  Sign up today and start accumulating points for the 2012 season and your horses overall Shooting Horse Certification!

 

So what is Mounted Shooting?
This exciting competition reminds spectators of cowboys of the old west! Armed with two single action .45 caliber pistols, the competitor speeds through a course designed to test their horsemanship skills and shooting ability – all put together. While navigating through a course, the rider must shoot at 5 targets with one gun before re-holstering and pulling out their next gun for the last 5 targets. Scoring is based on speed, accuracy and following the course of fire correctly. Targets are balloons and ammunition is black powder blanks for safety. There are levels for competitors based on mounted shooting experience and wins, even entry levels for competitors on lead line or anyone just learning to put it all together. We also offer all members a Shooting Horse certification program to gain recognition for their horse in the sport of Mounted Shooting.
