Meet Baylee (Plumb Dry Tequila) a 21-year-old AQHA gelding. Baylee has competed in reining, working cow horse, roping, Extreme Cowboy Racing, mountain trail competitions and even some jousting. Now, he is successfully competing in cowboy mounted shooting. Laurie was introduced to the sport in 2011, through a new shooters clinic, and has been working her way up through the Senior Ladies 1 division. “Fun! That’s the word to describe it” says Laurie. “Fun and a real test of different skills, especially horsemanship.”

Cowboy mounted shooting utilizes two single action .45 caliber pistols, which fire specially loaded black powder blank ammunition. The burning embers travel about 15 feet to pop the balloons. Competitors are scored on time and accuracy with a 5 second penalty for each missed balloon. Learn more at WWMS Facebook or the following summer events:
