Join the ladies of the CUSF Women’s program, Project Mapleseed and LadyGuns for this episode of “She Shoots.”

This month, we welcome Gail Cook, a Champion Mounted Shooter in Canada and the United States.

Gail lives near Bentley, Alberta on an acreage with her partner Lee and their 3 mounted shooting horses.

She got involved in mounted shooting after taking a clinic in 2008 and since then Gail and Lee have competed in mounted shooting competitions across Canada and throughout the US.

Gail has multiple class wins in Canada and in the US, including Colorado, Texas, Idaho and Arizona. A couple of highlights for her are Overall Ladies Champion in Canada in 2014 and Cowboy Mounted Shooting Worlds Class Winner in Amarillo Texas in 2015.

Gail also operates her business, The Leather Loft from her home. She has been in business for 29 years and has made saddles, tack, gun leather, chaps and chinks. Currently, her focus is chaps and bags and last year she started a class on chap making.
