Unfortunately I'm not all about the duds. (I mean outfit duds)

I'll see what I can do, it'll be a few days though. Next ride is Thursday I'll see if I can find a photographer. I won't be responsible for any damage my ugly mug does to your monitor though.280, of course, you realize that we simply MUST have pics of you "Yeehawing it up"?
Of course training your horse to tolerate the firing by its head is some work, and some just don't like it period as I understand.
Is cowboy action shooting historically realistic?
Are these shooters even actually accurate? Do they hit what they're trying to hit?
I mean, we ridicule movies where Bruce Willis is diving as he's firing two pistols, claiming that neither pistol would hit diddly-squat. But we have guys bouncing around on horseback; I don't know if it is credible or not, that they would hit their targets.
And did "real cowboys" in the "wild west" actually do a lot of shooting from horseback, making these cowboy action shooting events "historical recreations" rather than "modern reinterpretations" of something that really didn't happen?
It took me ~ 2 years to go from scared (you know what) to acceptable yeehawing. Your results may differ...being younger you'll probably have it in a week or soI may have to learn to ride when I get home...
I recall a place on a farm we used to shoot that was right next to a R/C airplane field. They used to buzz our line of fire and we used to joke about pluggin' one of them. Then I thought, "Why not a sport that pits an R/C pilot and his souped up somewhat armored plane against a shotgunner on the ground." I mean "armor" around the expensive parts liike the servos, engine, etc. and only use birdshot. Maybe just a few wraps of duct tape would do it. I actually approached them one time with the suggestion. It wasn't met with too much enthusiasm. Chickens...
