Rural Missouri magazine is something my electric co-op sends out each month. most of the articles are pretty mundane but this one caught my eye so i thought i would share it.

A true family sport
Cowboy mounted shooting events pit families against each other in friendly competition
by Kyle Spradley

Dust swirls around in the hot afternoon sky. The smell of leather fills the air. Two sets of pistols rest in their holsters securely strapped to the chest. One horse takes off in a dash as the rider whips out her pistol. Five shots fire repeatedly. Then five more, this time more rapidly. The horse comes to a halt, exhausted, gasping for air as the smoke from the spent rounds lingers.
The shooter smiles back at her husband, with slight exuberance, realizing her time might have beaten his.

I wonder if using a 4 wheeler would be considered "cheating"? :)
