Right On Target

A sport that harkens back to the Wild, Wild West!

- Janice Storch

Cowboy mounted shooting, also known as simply “mounted shooting,” is a competitive equestrian sport that challenges participants to quickly and accurately negotiate an arena with a pre-determined pattern of targets and shoot those targets, all while riding a horse.

I’ve been taking photos of mounted-shooting events for the past two years. As the main photographer for mounted shooting in Alberta, I attend about five events across the province each year. I’ve also travelled to British Columbia to take photographs for one of their associations.
