Description
A Mounted Shooting competitor successfully hits the target at the 2012 End of Trail competition. Mounted shooting events are similar to other timed rodeo events. Competitors dress in cowboy attire dating from modern rodeo garb back to the old west era. The courses of fire consist of 10 elevated balloon targets of various color combinations. The competitors shoot the first five targets with a single action .45 caliber firearm similar to those used in the late 1800's and early 1900's by the American cowboy. After holstering the first revolver, they engage the last five targets in the "rundown". Ammunition is made from black powder and the rounds are blanks. Courses of fire are designed to test rider's ability to control their horses at various speeds, while making lead and direction changes similar to those in barrel racing. Both speed and accuracy are important to a competitor's success. END of TRAIL, located at Founders Ranch in New Mexico, is the annual World Championship of Single Action Shooting. 2012 was the first year that a Mounted Shooting competition also took place at End of Trail.
