We had a similar target at our annual shoot. It was a barrel suspended by a rope on each end, no saddle.
Lucky for me the target was a full sized bison   :jumper:    :laughing:

Lookin' good, Roger!    :jumper:

I'd have trouble climbing up on her.  :biglaugh:

Getting up wasn't so bad.....getting down would have been worth a video....   :laughing:

Looking good Roger!

I would have asked for a bigger saddle and a shorter horse....lol

God bless,Mudd

:laughing:    :laughing:

It helps to practice on the real thing before you  ride one of them barrel horses Roger...    :D

I'd say that needs to be your new avatar...   :clapper:

I think I'd need a shorter barrel so I wouldn't pull a groin muscle. Also stirrups would be nice !!

Not many horses would like a twang in thier ears.  They should make tha a 30 degree off center shot.  If not they should buck you off.  Just funnin
I went to one where the barrel was on ropes so it moved when you moved.   I love those novelty shots

That sucker burnt my legs last year! Ouch!

I don't know why anybody would try to shoot their bow off a horse that doesn't even have a head   :laughing:

Actually, that's my kind of horse, pretty low maintenance.
I second the new avatar pic for you.

Nice form, I mean technique, I mean style buddy.    :rolleyes:

Ron, that's a nice picture of you on the horse. I see you're carrying your double 'barrelled' bow scabbard in case you run into some roughyin's.    :thumbsup:

Its a good thing you picked up your new Horse bow from Steve that weekend eh Roger?

The McAlester shoot had one like that but it also wobbled while you sat on it.
A muzzleloader club I shot at had one that was mounted on a big coil spring.
That was interesting...  :rolleyes:

I'm sure we could find a horse owner or 2 in WY that would let us borrow a couple for a week.  LOL

I have always liked when shoots try to be different then the rest.  It adds fun to the challenge.

We used a large log once for a mount from which to shoot a toughman target. By changing the direction of the target you can easily vary the difficulty of it. For a right hand shooter, a target directly in front of the horse, or slightly to the right of the horse becomes difficult.

Eventually someone is going to set up a range where you shoot at an animal target, and then after pulling arrows, mount that target to shoot the next target. The whole range could be shot from "horse back". Obviously it would require large durable targets.

I think that Roger and Ron both have found new avatars.

Steve shipped "Big Green" out a few weeks prior. Honestly though, I see why the Plains Indians had the short horse bows. If they had Shrew bows back then, we would all be speaking Sioux.   :bigsmyl:

Funny!

Is that what they ment by an iron horse?

That saddle IS a bit small. We'd all be walking funny after that shot.

That was an elk hunt trip that John Lee and I made to Colorado some years back. I took two osage self bows, "Bodacious" which was 83#@26" and "Bo Derick", 81#@26" had a pencil size hole through her riser under the handle ..      :rolleyes:     ...      :D

At least it aint movin. lol

I need to get me a set of buckskins....I really do!

I couldn't do that with my metal hips...but I sure imagine it was a challenging shot!

Next time wear your chaps   :laughing:
