She started riding horses at age 4 and shot her first firearm at age 6. Now, at age 14, she is a perennial contender in any Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association (CMSA) competition.

There were no girls like that when I was 14.

Great magazine cover - looks like an old-fashioned Annie Oakley photo. Love the hat just about to hit the ground!

"The cartridges fired in CMSA competition are blackpowder blanks," according to Melissa, and will break a balloon up to about 15 feet from the muzzle. Live rounds are strictly prohibited at competitions.

Blanks that will break a balloon up to 15 feet from the muzzle?? Interesting. Why have I been under the impression that they use a wax wad or bullet? I must be wrong. Surely the reporter is correct.

I have seen some local competitions over here in the Texas Hill Country. The women and the horses were down right amazing. What’s not to love about women that ride horses and shoot guns?

Cute kid.

What I really want to know however, does the horse get ear plugs?
