Stepping Back In Time

Mounted Cowboy Shooting Match
Go back in time to those Wild West days of the late 1800s when cowboys were king. Experience the excitement of those decades ago when cowboys reigned, as cowboys saddle up and engage in a shooting match at Old Bethpage Village. Mounted contestants compete to see who has the best shot, using two .45 caliber single action revolvers each loaded with five rounds of specially prepared ammunition. These ‘cowboys’ are scored on accuracy and time in this fast action event.
Saturday, Aug. 24, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. $10, $5 children 4-14 and seniors. Old Bethpage Village Restoration, Round Swamp Rd., Old Bethpage. (516) 572-8400.
