Mounted Shooting.......

[OnTheFly7]

As part of my archived file review, I found some of my images of mounted shooting events. These are fast, action packed events.

I’ll post more later in the week, but this is one of my favorites. She was in high gear coming to the finish line!

Sweet action shot

great shot. I think you pushed the shadows too far in post, looks unnatural to me in direct afternoon sun.

Like it, nice action shot but maybe just darken it a tad.

Very good action shot...

 

[PJM]

Cool shot. I hope she got a copy.

She needs to get her finger OFF the damn trigger!

She needs to get her finger OFF the damn trigger!

Unless she is shooting a traditional single action and is using the hammer as the firing mechanism..... This way they keep the trigger down, pull back the hammer and when you release the hammer the gun fires.

Like many sports they have different techniques to get an edge. The "ammo" they are shooting is black powder with a cardboard cap to keep it in.

I am not sure if that technique is allowed in this sport. Cowboy action shooting does a similar thing with traditional pump action shotguns by holding the trigger.

Terrific shot!
