Cowboy Mounted Shooting demonstration at AQHA World Show 

little house guy I do it there are trainers all over America

Well it's a revolver and a lever action gun just like back in wild west

Single action revolvers chambered in .45 long colt and the lever action rifles are also in .45 long colt

I know this is an incredibly late reply, but you can view the upcoming events for mounted shooting at cmsaevents.com under the "events" tab. You can filter it to only shoots that are happening near you and you can find out when they are! They happen all over the U.S. all year long and also in Canada!

no

Looks like alot of fun to shoot off a gun near a horses head, forcing their heads down. You people suck who support this crap

They're black powder blanks. Black powder burns slower than modern smokeless and is still on fire within 15-18 feet. The burning embers pop the balloon.

Black powder blanks. The spark from the black powder pops the balloons.

What others said about the blanks, and it projects only a 20' spray

Can anyone translate this. All i heard was communist and that is as far I could understand

“Exceptional demonstration of horse and weapon skills. Too bad that in communist countries, good citizens cannot have guns…only criminals”

@@hoodlum4511 Exceptional demonstration of horse and weapon skills. Too bad that in communist countries good citizens can't have weapons... only criminals can. that's portuguese!

Yes shooting black powder

No bullets tho, that could end very poorly

Yes black powder guns, shooting a wax bullet

@@johnsailor6081 rat shot

Black powder and#12 shot rat shot

It's blank

I believe they are the Wax competition rounds I've seen around

Yeah it doesnt really happen at rodeos. Mounted shooting usually has separate events across the country because some of them can take several days to get all the riders through all of the courses/classes available. BUT mounted shooters like to spread awareness about the sport through expos (which is what this is). They arent true competitions but theyre more like a sneak peak at how the sport works!

The horses are directed by body language if you look close, the bit is hardly used. The rider and horse have hearing protection, so relax Skippy!

@Melcop1886 Don't tell me to relax. The horse has a martingale on. Therefore, the horse can't even respond, to that noise, if it wanted to. So putting spongey balls inside their ears, is what you call protection?

@outoftime7740 lol....Guess what, people have been putting spongy balls in their ears for many years, they're called ear plugs and they work!
