Look ma! No hands! πŸ™ŒπŸ»

Our shotgun class is where the rider engages the first five balloons with the single action revolver, holsters, rounds the rundown barrel, pulls the shotgun, drops the reins, then engages two clusters of balloons.

(Yelling at said balloons is not required, but has been rumored to help your success rate πŸ˜‰)

β˜„οΈ Fireball β˜„οΈ

We often get asked, β€œWhat are you shooting and how is it safe?”

We are shooting black powder blanks from a single action revolver. The burning embers that are emitted burst the balloon at 15-20 feet (with a little luck, sometimes further!) but then quickly die off. This makes the sport safe for spectators in the stands! 🀠Photos from Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association's post
