ABOUT THE EVENT
Howdy buckaroos and buckarettes!
Thank you for putting your sights on the cowboy shootout website. If you’ve never been to a cowboy shoot out that makes a whole lotta sense because this is a newly conceived event that will allow you to test your skills similar to those folks who lived in the wild west. There are four major contests with both overall prizes and individual event prizes. The events are mounted shooting, fast draw, bull riding, and calf roping. To learn more, explore our competition page.
Other highlights of the day will be a brisket and ribs barbecue with all the fixin‘s. Fill in the day with clay shooting and fishing then belly up to the bar in the saloon to wet your whistle after you’re done with all your shoot.
The Cowboy Shootout is open to cowboys, cowgirls and children are welcome as spectators. Bring out the whole family to enjoy horseshoes, bags and A full day of entertainment which supports a rooting tooting charity called The Well. The Well works with and supports Chicago’s first responders and does a darn tooting job of it.
