Charlie Little, Mounted Shooting

Charlie Little started mounted shooting in 2000, at the age of 10.  Not allowed to use real bullets was frustrating to the young competitor, who has honed his shooting and moved into the top cowboy spot in 2010.

Charlie has a love of ponies, and always seems to have one around, in addition to his shooting horses and horses in training, and he also has a Border Collie named Ping and an Idaho Shag named Hooter, who is his constant sidekick.  He also enjoys hunting, and brought down a 6×6 elk in Wyoming.

A competitor at heart, he also beat cancer at a young age, and continues to strive to be the best he can be in the arena, while also giving back by teaching clinics and training horses for others.
