CMSA Hall of Fame was founded by Teal Henkel.

Teal and the CMSA Board of Directors want to recognize our great cowboys and cowgirls by picking one cowboy and one cowgirl out of five nominees in each category, to be inducted into our CMSA Hall of Fame.

Every year from this year forward, at the CMSA World Championships, two new inductees will be recognized for years of hard work, skills, and dedication.

Each Hall of Fame inductee will receive a beautiful trophy to keep in remembrance of this honorary occasion, and a place in our Hall of Fame with their picture and biography in the CMSA Rundown, holding their place of honor in CMSA History!

Hall of Fame Criteria:

• Best Ambassador/Promoter of the Sport
• Best Dresser
• World/National Champion
• Number of Shoots Attended
• Length of Membership

  "One of the best highlights was being asked to come to a shoot and try Cowboy Mounted Shooting out, it was fun and exciting then in 1999 and it still is in 2007. I have met some really great Cowboy's & Cowgirls. - I was the 1st Level 5 shooter east of the Mississippi and the 1st shooter to accumulate 1000 National Points. In 2003 I had a Class 5 World Win!
