Equine Sports


One of the nations fastest-growing equine sports. The Northern Illinois Outlaws is affiliated with the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association. They will conduct a four-stage mounted shooting competition in the Pony Arena of the Boone County Fairgrounds. This family-friendly sport is fun and exciting as a competitor or as a spectator.

Mounted contestants compete in this fast-action event using two .45 caliber single-action revolvers similar to those used in the late 1800s by the American cowboys. Each gun is loaded with five rounds of specially prepared blank ammunition. Courses are set using ten balloon targets in specific patterns where the rider shoots the first five, holsters his/her gun, picks up the second gun, and continues with the rest of the pattern.
