You are all invited to join us at this action packed, fun-filled, gala event!
The “Rundown for Life” is a Masters Tournament where distinguished mounted shooting competitors in ladies and men’s divisions 1-6 ride all breeds of horses and shoot two .45 caliber single action revolvers each loaded with 5 rounds of black powder blank ammunition at reactionary balloon targets set in random patterns called ‘stages’. Each competitor will be dedicating their competition by riding for a friend or loved one that has been a victim of cancer. The timed event involves strategy, the goal being penalty-free performance where rider and horse are challenged to bring forth blue-ribbon execution. Riders will compete in their respective divisions in a three-stage “Qualifier Match” on Friday and Saturday - June 1st and 2nd, 2007. The results of the “Qualifier Match” will reveal the top 25% in each division who will then be divided into four separate classifications (Men 1-3, Ladies 1-3 / Men 4-6, Ladies 4-6). These shooters will return Sunday, June 3rd, 2007 for a two-stage “Eliminator Match”. This is an exciting high-stakes competition where these outstanding athletes will be vying for an unprecedented cash prize purse of $70,000.00. The 1st place winners in each of the four classifications will be awarded a staggering $10,000.00 each with 2nd – 10th also winning cash awards! Immediately following the “Eliminator Match” the top twenty cowboys and cowgirls (10 each from Class 1-3, and Class 4-6 regardless of gender) will return for the “Top Gun Showdown”. After Top Gun Showdown, the finale of Sunday night’s showcase competition, we will declare the High Overall Champion of this Masters Tournament and who will drive away the winner of a 2007 Ford pickup truck.
Highlighting the three-day event will be the ‘Survivors Run’ held Saturday evening at 7:00pm in the Grand Arena. Many mounted shooters have suffered the ravages of cancer, and thankfully many have survived. Saturday night’s showcase exhibition will celebrate those mounted shooters that have survived their battle with cancer and are able to once again compete in the great sport of mounted shooting. These outstanding individuals are all winners and will each be awarded championship trophy buckles. After the survivor’s scores are tallied, a championship trophy saddle will be awarded to the fastest cowboy and cowgirl. And, our sponsors (Colt Manufacturing & AJ Horses) have generously donated a genuine Colt .45 caliber, single-action revolver to the reserve cowboy and cowgirl.
