Holsters in Action!
JD Casperson
Men’s Level 3 World Champion 2021
Gifted a set as a Thank You for all of his work in helping us make such great holsters, JD took that set to the 2021 CMSA World Championships and came home with the Men’s Level 3 World Champion title. To say we were excited for him is a understatement.
When we first started making holsters as a hobby, we never could have imagined what it would turn into and we would not be where we are today if it weren't for this man right here. He has had an influential hand in almost every step of helping us build our business from design changes, to product testing, to even doing a little product modeling. We couldn't have done it without him and we are beyond proud to be apart of Team Casperson and we wish him all the best at his future shoots!
JD has won a few more buckles and his holsters and chinks have changed just a little since winning worlds, but we think only for the better!
One of his favorite features about our holsters are their “Fat Guards”! And the best part is they come standard in all of our rigs!
And he did it again…
JD had one heck of a week at the CMSA 2022 World Championships. He came in 2nd in the Open Eliminator, 1st in the AA Double Down, took the title of Men’s Level 4 World Champion, AND came in #3 against hundreds of other riders earning himself the added title of
We are so incredibly proud of him and honored to be apart of Team Casperson! AND we just have to add that it has been so fun to personally watch as he has taken his horse Louie from being his son’s buckaroo pony last year to winning Worlds this year!!! They have both worked so hard to get where they are and it is so awesome that we get to play a small part in their journey.
Men’s Reserve Overall World Champion!!!
Congratulations!
Hadlee Casperson
Hadlee is no new comer to the sport, she has been the main pit crew and supporter of Team Casperson for a while now, after spending years watching from the stands she was finally ready to get in on the action herself. She joined her boys in the arena about a year ago and she has been doing awesome! Lets be honest, JD would not be where he is today without this amazing lady!
And I just have to say Thank You!!! Hadlee has let me use her family for product testing, modeling holsters for pictures, has helped me with design ideas, has listened to my countless leather talk, and weekly, sometimes daily rants. I appreciate her so much and I am so lucky to be able to call her my friend.
One of her favorite things about our holsters is just how pretty they are. I may be biased, but I agree! Pictures just don’t do them justice.

Thomas Hansen
Thomas has only been doing this sport for about a year and half now, but he says that it has become the greatest family activity they have ever done.
“In the past I would go to team ropings and cow sorting competitions while my family would watch. Mounted shooting has been an adrenaline driving sport for myself and my family, it has also built up our horsemanship skills like never before. Our love for the sport will continue to grow.”
Thomas uses our holsters along with our back cinch scabbard. Working with him has been a pleasure and we wish him all the best in his future shoots!
