How do you get a horse to tolerate gun fire from the saddle?
Watching cowboy movies, they always depict the posse firing over the heads of their mounts as they pursue the Indians, bank robbers, etc....
I've experienced this before; when I was in the service on a live fire exercise as the RTO my 2ND LT fired a three round burst within 12 inches of my ear, which caused me to black-out for a few seconds.
No question a 30-30 is a bigger round than the 5.56, was it the flash suppressor that did me in or are the sheriff posse's horses deaf?
