Dear Sponsor,

Cowboy Mounted Shooting is currently the fastest growing equine sport in the United States and abroad. The Dakota Territory Mounted Shooters (DTMS) has played an active role in bringing this unique and exciting sport to Eastern South Dakota.

Spearheaded by the Whitehead Arena Crew of Lennox, SD, along with the local 7th Calvary, DTMS was formed in January of 2006. The club's mission is three-fold:

  • to have fun with their families and horses
  • to increase public awareness and enjoyment of Cowboy Mounted Shooting
  • to help create more sanctioned events in the area

After hosting nearly a dozen events so far, including the South Dakota State Cowboy Mounted Shooting Championship two years running, and qualifying several members for National events in every age group - the club is proud to say they have accomplished their goals. Their events are garnering quite a reputation in the Mounted Shooting World, drawing competitors from across the Midwest and beyond.

With the economic transitions in the world today, horse loving families are looking for more ways to enjoy their animals in events the entire family can participate in – and mounted shooting meets that need. With skill levels for both men and women, juniors and a wrangler division, there is something for everyone. Even members who don’t ride can find things to do at the events by helping with the balloons, timers and paperwork.

As membership and interest in the club continue to grow, it creates an outstanding opportunity for companies such as yours to receive recognition by sponsoring various events. Financial support and product donation will gain you direct advertising opportunities to individuals who shop your businesses. The local club website (www.daktms.com) is a popular advertising venue and is linked to the National CMSA website (www.cowboymountedshooting.com). The club regularly submits articles to local newspapers and national shooting magazines, and often includes sponsors in the stories.

Join us today and promote directly to the people who use your products. DTMS is a 501.3c not-for profit organization.
