The event starts at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 and include a one-year subscription to Western Shooting Horse Magazine. Children 12 and under with a guardian or parent are free.

Mounted Shooting is one of the fastest growing equestrian sports in the nation. Competitors use .45 caliber single action cowboy pistols that fire black powder blanks cartridges at a series of ten targets while maneuvering assorted courses. It is a fast-paced, high-speed competition in which only the best-trained and fastest horses can be used. The shooter with the fastest time and the least amount of misses takes top honors and the lion share of prizes and money.

As a special incentive, spectators with a paid ticket will receive a one-year subscription to Western Shooting Horse Magazine. Western Shooting Horse is the only national magazine dedicated to the world of mounted shooting. The bi-monthly glossy color publication covers the shooters and their horses and brings the latest and hottest information on the events, products, trainers and techniques that make up the sport.

The Western Shooting Horse All-Star Mounted Shootout takes place at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 15 at the Curry County Events Center in Clovis, New Mexico.
