Cody & Gin – a winning tonic!
A native of Columbia, TN, Cody Clark is a 16-year-old, straight A student at Columbia Academy. He has been competing in Cowboy Mounted Shooting events since 2001, when he began his career in the non-shooting Wrangler division. Cody Clark is now youngest Men’s Level 6 competitor and the youngest to hold a world record!
Riding a registered 8-year-old American Quarter Horse gelding named 86 Gin, Cody set a new World Record on CMSA course # 52 at the Stetson Summer Classic, in the historic Lazy E Arena located in Guthrie, Oklahoma. The Stetson Summer Classic is one of the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association’s major events, featuring the toughest cowboys and cowgirls in the nation. Cowboy Mounted Shooting involves mounted competitors engaging balloon targets with single-action revolvers loaded with special blank ammunition at breakneck speed, and Cody has become one of the fastest young champions in the nation. The Colt Eliminator is one of the most exciting and competitive events produced by the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association around the world. In the Eliminator contestants compete in three separate go rounds with only the top contestants in each category returning to the next round, and hopefully to the third and final championship round.
In the first round of the Colt Eliminator, Cody nearly broke the world record on Course # 51, called the Cross Over Rundown, set by in 2008 by Chad Little, who owns more records than any other mounted shooter. Cody ran a 10.763 just missing the previous world record by only .038 of a second, on his way to winning the go-round. In the second round of the Colt Eliminator, Cody broke through and smashed the world record with a blistering fast 17.907! The first time a sub-18-second run had ever been made on the pattern and taking an astonishing .117 seconds off the previous record, also held by Chad Little of Maple Plain, Minnesota.
