Old West comes alive at action shooting events
Posted July 9, 2014By Jessica Boehm and Emilie Eaton
The best cowboy action shooters from around the world gathered last month to test their marksmanship and preserve the traditions of the Old West. The event, held in New Mexico, attracted men and women in full Western garb- spurs, cowboy boots, old-fashion holsters and more.
Months earlier in Arizona, shooters competed in the National Championship of Cowboy Action Shooting. Watch the audio slideshow to catch a glimpse of the cowboy spirit.
