OKAY THIS SUNDAY!!!!!!!! APRIL 7 warm up at 10 and shooting starts at 1100!!!

Thorsbyrancher, what is your wifes name may know her... where is she practicing?

Well here is the rundown for the rules.
yes we can bring our pistols to the arena, you get a different ATT for mounted shooting, then we can shoot. We work closly with the CFO so all is fully done by the laws...
Trust me guys you will become hooked!!
I can't stop talking about it.....
Any other questions feel free to contact me.

ok so as a newbie you can come and try it out, if you want to ride, you must join a club (Dirt cheap) and have an RPAL.... If you dont have an RPAL you can ride with 1 gun that is handed to you once in the arena and then walk the pattern with some one beside you on a horse.

Now is your horse gun broke, sounds funny but you would be amazed how many people bring horses that are susposedly gun broke and they freak at a balloon popping while filling them... LOL

We also have replica cap guns for newbies without RPALS, great way to train while waiting for the licence.

We have 4 shooting horses ready to go but 2 of them dont even notice the gun fire they just go, Some horses we put ear plugs in and others just dont like them.
