What is Cowboy Mounted Shooting?

Known to be one of the fastest growing and most exciting equestrian sports in America, cowboy mounted shooting combines elements of a Wild West Show exhibition shooting along with the skills of barrel racing, pole bending and reigning while using two .45 caliber single action revolvers loaded with black powder blanks.
