AQHA is teaming with the Cowboy
Mounted Shooting Association for this event. Cowboy mounted shooting,
formed in 1991, is a fast-action timed event in which riders use two .45-caliber
single-action revolvers each loaded with five rounds of specially prepared blank
ammunition to pop balloons on a course in an arena.
Cowboy mounted shooting is an AQHA-approved event. The first AQHA cowboy mounted
shooting points were earned at the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association National
Championship on April 14, 2011, in Tunica,
Mississippi
. The qualifying period for the 2012 Cowboy Mounted Shooting World Championship
ended at the CMSA World Championship, which was October 18-23, 2011, in
Amarillo
.
Open, amateur,
Select

AQHA class divisions will be offered at the 2012 AQHA Cowboy Mounted Shooting
World.
