The Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association (CMSA) saw significant competitive action over the Independence Day weekend, with two major events taking place in Pueblo, Colorado. The 2025 Colorado State Championship kicked off on July 4th, drawing top mounted shooters from across the region. This was immediately followed by the MID MOUNTAIN REGIONAL 2025, which commenced on July 5th, continuing the high-stakes competition. These events are a showcase of equestrian skill combined with precision shooting, where competitors navigate a course while firing single-action revolvers loaded with blank ammunition at balloon targets. The atmosphere at such competitions is a unique blend of historical cowboy culture, disciplined horsemanship, and dynamic shooting sportsmanship. Participants compete in various stages, each designed to test their ability to control their horse at speed while accurately engaging targets. The Colorado State Championship typically serves as a key qualifier and benchmark for competitors looking to advance in national standings. The subsequent Mid Mountain Regional provides another opportunity for points and recognition, often attracting a slightly different pool of riders or those looking for back-to-back competitive opportunities. These events are not just about individual performance but also foster a strong sense of community and camaraderie among mounted shooting enthusiasts.
