WWMS: The Beginner Friendly Sport

Introducing Horses and Riders to Mounted Shooting

Cowboy mounted shooting is a sport that is beginner friendly. There are a lot of opinions on how to introduce horses to gunfire, but at our barn we like starting them with cap guns. This begins first on the ground, then progresses to on horseback at a walk and trot. Using cap guns, we are able to shoot indoors and gradually introduce horses to more and more noise while also teaching new competitors about gun safety and how to ride patterns.

Shoots in the Pacific Northwest start in May with the 2^nd annual Pendleton Roundup Shoot May 6-8. This is followed by the Washington State Championships in Cashmere, WA May 13-15; the Western Washington Mounted Shooters Sharp Shooter #1 in Sedro Woolley May 21-22; and the Oregon State Championships in Terrebonne, OR May 27-29^th. If you would like to watch some of the fun visit www.cmsaevents.com for videos and a club near you.
