Walker Dixon started shooting only a year ago (last February) when his wife bought him a new shooters’ clinic for a Valentine’s Day present. A novice rider, he excelled quickly, learning to ride and shoot at the same time. His love for the sport drove him to success and he won seven competitions in a row, including a Shotgun and Overall win.   Walker’s horse Chester, now 21, retired this year and he began competing on a new horse, Outlaw. The two are rapidly coming together for an exciting year. Is there someone in your life who needs to be introduced to this sport?
