What is the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association (CMSA)? It is the fastest growing equine sport in the world. Cowboy Mounted Shooting is a team sport between you and your horse with many different levels so that ages 6 to 90 can compete and enjoy the sport. CMSA is a family-oriented sport; it is not uncommon to see entire families competing at an event and having fun.

We shoot single action .45 caliber revolvers. Each pistol is loaded with 5 rounds. The ammunition is manufactured specifically for Cowboy Mounted Shooting. They are blanks with black powder used to pop the balloon or target. Courses of fire are set in a variety of patterns. The first half (5 targets) of a course will vary with each go. Once the riser shoots the first five, he/she holsters and draws their second pistol and shoots the second half (5 targets), called the “Run Down”, which is usually a straight shot to the finish line.

Typically, a competitor crosses the timing beam at a full gallop. Scoring is based on elapsed time plus any penalties or procedurals within the run. Penalties of five points each include knocking over a barrel, missed target, or dropped gun. Procedurals are failure to follow the course of fire, which is 10 second penalty. These courses of fire normally take a contestant between 15 to 30 seconds, depending on the course. The fastest overall time wins.

This fast-paced sport captivates the public with the excitement of fast horses and even faster shooting. Nebraska Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association (NECMSA) has a strong focus on drawing large numbers of competitors from beginners to the highest-level shooters, as well as providing family-friendly entertainment to the local community.
