The Northern Illinois Outlaws


The Northern Illinois Outlaws are a Cowboy Mounted shooting club, affiliated with the Cowboy Mounted Shooting association. Mounted shooting is one of the fastest growing equestrian sports, and these fellas did a great demonstration at the Fall Festival at the Danada Equestrian Center in Wheaton, Illinois.


Their demonstration showed how mounted contestants compete in fast action timed events, using their .45 caliber single action revolvers, loaded with just five rounds of specially-prepared blank ammo. Even though they were firing blanks, the crowd was asked to step away from the surrounding fence by an arm's length.


A took a lot of pictures of the action...


And they were clearly having a great time.
