Battle in the Saddle – A Blast
Columbia, TN –-(Ammoland.com)- CMSA Contestants traveled from all over for a chance at the $10,000 added at the Battle in the Saddle.
Arriving in the heat of 110 degrees this event was HOT!
With a total of 47 contestants and only 20 making the finals, competition was fierce and nobody was backing down.
After the three stages of the main match was completed only 3 riders with a miss made it into the Top 20 Showcase. Cody Clark proved why he is the youngest Men’s Level 6 winning both the Main Match High Overall and the Showcase High Overall.
This showcase proved to be the most exciting of the week with ONLY .272 seconds separating the top four riders- fans were on the edge of their seats cheering on our mounted shooters!
