\"\"First off, happy Thanksgiving to everyone here in the US! \u00a0With a few minutes before we start our festivities for the day, I figured I’d put up a post from over the summer. \u00a0Yep, another post from the past as I slowly catch up on my photo posts here. \u00a0Back in August of this year, Jill, the girls and I attended the second day of the Northeast Regional finals of the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association<\/a> in Oneco, CT. \u00a0Cowboy Mounted Shooting is one of my favorite sports to photograph – an action packed\u00a0competition\u00a0done on horseback with riders\u00a0wielding\u00a0.45 caliber single action revolvers. \u00a0The goal is for the rider and horse to navigate a pre-determined course at the fastest possible speed, while shooting the balloons in a specific order with specially loaded blanks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The event was hosted at Falls Creek Farm<\/a> in Oneco on August 4 and 5, 2012. \u00a0We could only make it out for the second day of the competition, but it was still a great time. \u00a0Even the girls got a chance to try their hand at shooting the shooters! \u00a0As usual, my goal with my photos was to try to portray the action of the sport, and also get as many muzzle flashes as I could. \u00a0A whole slew of photos later, and I ended up with what I think is a pretty good set from the day’s events.<\/p>\n

Check ’em out below – about 130 in all. \u00a0So let ’em load, sit back and enjoy the slideshow!<\/p>\n

Thanks for looking!
