2026 Ohio Cowboy Mounted Shooting Schedule and Season Guide
Cowboy Mounted Shooting is an incredibly dynamic sport with a highly structured competitive season. If you are a competitor like our very own Ohio defense attorney Sallynda Rothchild Dennison or just a fan wanting to watch the action, understanding how the season works and knowing the local schedule is important.
How the Season Works and Culminates
The Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association season is built on a strict points system. Competitors start by participating in local club events. As riders compete, they earn points based on their placement and their specific division levels.
These local shoots act as steppingstones. The points riders gain allows them to qualify for larger and higher stakes events. Some weekend events even offer “Double World Points” to help riders rank up faster. The season moves from local club shoots to State Championships, then to Regional Championships.
The entire year builds to the World Championship. This grand finale features the best riders from across the nation competing for big prize pools, custom saddles, belt buckles, and the of course, bragging rights!

Protect Your Rights on the Road
Traveling to these events means hauling horses, trailers, and firearms across the state almost every weekend. It is vital to understand the strict laws regarding firearm transport in Ohio. A simple mistake can lead to severe criminal charges.
If you find yourself facing weapons charges related to improper transport, consulting an experienced Columbus gun rights defense attorney can help protect your Second Amendment freedoms. Ensure you have the right legal representation before you hit the road for the next shootout.
