A New Shooter’s Clinic is a GREAT way to get your horse accustom to gunfire, learn more about the sport of Cowboy Mounted Shooting, try different holsters & guns and most of all HAVE FUN!!

Missed the clinic but want to get started in the sport? Email Ashley (Fearless) at PalominoAQHMama@gmail.com to discuss how you can get started with a few options such as lessons, private clinics, and/or coming to a show for exposure.

Some things to keep in mind for starting this sport

-You must have your own horse

-Your horse must be able to neck rein, as your second hand will be busy with the gun

-You must have a leather western saddle (this is a CMSA requirement) for competition

-There are members that can help/ will loan out guns and holsters the day of the show for your first year of competing
