Miranda Lambert's Unexpected Hobby: Shooting from Horseback at 40

Miranda Lambert, the country music star, has a new hobby that might surprise many. She's taken up mounted shooting, a sport that involves shooting from a horse. She's only been doing it for a year, but she's already hooked.

She told Joe Rogan on his podcast that she was introduced to the sport by her friend Ken Shane, a 10-time world champion.

What is Mounted Shooting?

Mounted shooting is a fast-paced sport. Competitors use two .45 caliber revolvers loaded with blanks. They're scored on time and accuracy.

Lambert admitted she's not great at it yet, but she loves the challenge. She sees it as a way to take her mind off the music industry and try something new.

Life with Brendan McLoughlin

Lambert also talked about her husband, Brendan McLoughlin. He's a retired NYPD officer, and they have a lot in common. Both grew up in families with a strong law enforcement presence.

Lambert's dad is a retired police officer, and she jokes about his hearing loss. She says it's the reason her parents are still together.

The couple splits their time between Nashville and Texas. Lambert grew up in Lindale, Texas, and she's happy to have her husband by her side, even if he's still getting used to saying "y'all."

A Lesson for All

Lambert's new hobby is a reminder that it's never too late to try something new. She's 41, and she's still finding ways to challenge herself and have fun. It's a lesson we can all learn from.
