Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a member of one of the National Mounted Shooting Associations to register for this program? 

No, however only points from an accepted association’s sanctioned shoot qualify.  We do encourage everyone to get involved in an association or local club but it is not required.    

Why do we need to send in match slips?

Match slips are our way of registering your points from matches.  We do not have access, nor do we use the databases from other associations.  With so many different mounted shooting competitions now taking place, we couldn’t keep up with all of the results and who is competing where.  Match slips are your way of letting us know the points you and your horse should be awarded. 

If I compete in CMSA and CSA shoots on the same horse do I need two different registration numbers?

No.  Remember, you're registering as a team, so no matter what shooting event the team competes in we will track your points.  You can purchase match slips and just circle the association you're submitting the points from. 

I compete with an association that isn't currently recognized by the Team Registry.  Can our association or group sign up to be added for point tracking? 

Sure!  We look forward to adding more associations, organizations and groups to our database.  Tracking points is what we're all about.  Contact us and we'll discuss getting your group set up. 

How does this point tracking differ from any of the National Associations?

The Team Registry combines your points from multiple mounted shooting associations and offers certification to your horse by way of certificates and plaques.     

We have many of our club members registered in the Cowboy Mounted Shooters Team Registry program, can we send in our results together in one envelope?

Of course!  The club may offer to do this for you or one of you can take charge and send them all in.  Remember, you can scan and e-mail them too.

I share a horse with another rider; can we both register for the program?

Yes.  You would each register as a separate team with the horse.     

My horse came up lame in the middle of a competition and I finished on a different horse, can I still have my points counted?

No. You must compete on the registered team horse for the entire competition.

My child competes in the lead line division.  Can he/she register as a team with their horse?

Yes.  We encourage the youth to register!  Everyone who competes in one of the youth divisions ( CSA Cowpokes, CMSA Wranglers, MSA Lead Line and SASS Buckaroos) will receive end of year recognition regardless of their placing.
