Missouri Rawhide Mounted Shooters was formed to give veteran and new shooters a place to learn new skills, practice with friends - old and new - and share their experiences. It's also a great place for old west enthusiasts and anyone interested in how mounted shooting works to learn about the sport. MRMS is very family oriented, and we have several entire families that all compete.  Kids as young as 5 can compete as wranglers by pointing at the balloons!  We encourage young riders to join in.  By the age of 12, if a child is a competent rider, they can begin to compete in the regular levels.  Spectators are ALWAYS welcome and always FREE.  Shooters are glad to share information about this great sport, and our members welcome and enjoy helping new shooters get started.  There is NO restrictions on the breed, height, registration or color of a competition horse.  Any horse can be your mount, and you can even ride a mule!   We are based in Oak Grove, Missouri, where most of our competitions are held, and we have lots of practice events for our members to work on their skills and train their horses.

Check the calendar of events page for the next NEW SHOOTER’S CLINIC where you can learn what works for you BEFORE acquiring the equipment.  We will help you begin the process of teaching your horse about gunfire, teach you about gun safety, focusing on gun use on horseback, and show you a variety of options for equipment.
