Believe it or not, I attended a seminar about this sport. So if you have to ask, .44 Long Colt blanks.

A co-worker does these competitions and travels quite a bit for them. I don’t know whether he goes this far away from OK, though.

No, I'm not wealthy enough to own a quarterhorse. But I went to the seminar anyway to find out what this guy (a champion) was shooting.

Ten balloons, two guns in quick-draw holsters. You don't have the time to reload.

Yeah, horse-poor, myself. Looks like fun, based on the photo in the story.

Funny thing about the guy, I asked him how he cleans his weapons. He said that he soaks them in diesel fuel, and after wiping them off, lets them drip-dry.

It’s good to be Up Nort in the summer. Mind if I borrow your lake house and do a little Pike fishin’?

I believe that pistol is real. Not toy.

Not many horses will let you shoot off of them.

There is a lot to say for revolvers and saddle guns.

And it is a rare woman who competes in this type of event.
