The Wild West Arts Club, inspired by legendary personality Will Rogers was formed in 1990 by entertainer Mark Allen and has dedicated itself to the promotion and preservation of wild west arena skills. Mark has traveled around the world and supported himself by performing western routines for audiences and discovered that people everywhere are fascinated by the skills of the American cowboy.
The day to day talents that have transformed into entertainment and competition... Trick roping, trick riding, shooting, whip cracking, fast draw, gun spinning, cowboy mounted shooting and the throwing arts (knives, tomahawk etc) are all part of these arena skills developed to entertain and help preserve the legacy of the old time wild west shows of Buffalo Bill Cody's era of the late 1800's and Will Rogers era entertaining folks through the Great Depression.
