“The preservation of the American man has never been more important.” Amen, brother. And you are a shining example. Good luck with your family and God Bless.

I served with this man. As good of guy as this shows

[@trigmcblasty8163]

A Free Range American. Beautiful Sorrel mare. She loves her job. I love riding and shooting it really does scratch an itch deep down. I practice on the mesa with my black powder cap n ball revolvers. One day I'm going to take this up. Seeing men like Drew really inspire me to get out and do it. Right now, my family ropes, so there's really no time left for another event, but all our roping horses are gun broke simply because I love to shoot. So fun! Awesome video. Long live the cowboy culture. Thanks for sharing!

[@dragonslayer7587]

Yes, my uncle shot a gun off the back of his horse, however, it didn't go well... The poor horse was spooked & he was dumped! It's not easy to train the horse or the rider!

[@JP_Patriot]

It’s not too hard. Easier if the horse is raised around shooting and has a good rider.

[@dragonslayer7587]

@@JP_Patriot We were farm kids in the middle of the Mountains. We weren't Ranchers. However, we hunted a lot as we all loved Venison, but this day, he was showing off.. it didn't go well for him. Thankfully the horses were ok.

[@JP_Patriot]

@@dragonslayer7587 I was raised on the outskirts of Nashville. I’ve ridden horses plenty. If your horse isn’t used to gunshots then it probably won’t end up well at all lol. Venison is awesome. Did he die from getting bucked or somethin?

As a Mexican American woman I would love to learn and train for this sport. It would teach me so much about both of my cultured from the western cowboy point of view. Which is what I feel so connected too.

Absolutely!

[@liberty9348]

Well, thank you for your service. I felt the same way... Joined in '04, was in the box the first time in '05, and had a similar story to yours. I'm glad you found something that you can focus on and build your life around. I fell into the same lows you did with drugs and alcohol... I was self-medicating. Looking back I believe the government, the armed forces, and the VA all need to do a MUCH BETTER job of getting soldiers (especially combat Veterans) dialed back into the civilian world and get them ALL the help they need and EXPLAIN in great detail ALL the resources available. Guys like you and I gave it our all, so why doesn't the government, VA, ARMY, etc. do the same? I hit the "low" you spoke of and crawled back out with the help of my wife and family. I was ready to end it all more than once because I saw zero solutions to my problems. I eventually found something I really enjoy and started a business around it and am doing quite well now. I work alone and keep to myself and live way out in the country. Looks like a blast riding and shooting in those competitions. My family had horses growing up and I rode all the time. Never fired a firearm while riding though. I keep thinking it's blowing out the ears on the horse. I'm curious how, if at all, it affects the horse's hearing? I know nothing about this sport. I see the muzzle flash from the pistol as a huge cone of fire lol. Are you shooting cartridges with no projectile and that's why it fans out like that? Or some kind of low-pressure shot or sand load that would be non-lethal? Pretty cool bud. I'm glad you're happy now. That's ALL life is about... the time we spend with the people we love and the drive to find happiness in the time we have left.

[@ws8061]

You know there's one sure fire way to find out the answer to those questions lol

[@liberty9348]

@@ws8061 Are you suggesting I go do this... to find out the answers? Would love to but I can't ride anymore... or do many things for that matter. I'm a disabled Veteran. Serious back, knee, arm, wrist, and head injuries in Iraq all at the same time, let me pretty busted up. I move very slowly. Anyhow... still curious about the sport... that's why I asked.

very cool. I always thought they should have a more "realistic" secton of that sport. moving targets at range and real bullets. a more cavalry feel. maybe some saber style blade options.

[@georgehorkan7205]

Guns and horses. I rode as a kid. Then life took me elsewhere but I never lost the love. I believe there is purpose for everything. I got out when they wouldn't let me become a medic. I went to school to become an EMT, then a Paramedic, and finally as a nurse. Looking back its funny; when I first got out I wanted to buy a couple of horses and slip off into the Rocky Mountains and loose myself. Oh; that's right, Rangers never get lost. You and I may not have run parallel courses but from what I've seen it was close. RLTW

[@rickbarela5020]

Love to learn this skill! Thank You for sharing Ooorrrrraaaa

[@mikewatson49]

How much more fun could it get than runnin and gunnin horseback

[@jonathancrouse8003]

Very interesting sport and have always wondered about it. So im guessing they're using blanks? Or some kind of cartridge that sparks into the balloon?

[@eco-8172]

Mounted shooting uses black powder theatrical blanks with no bullet. Companies such as Western Stage Props, Buffalo Blanks, Circle E Blanks, Lonesome Pine, and Whitehouse Blanks manufacture certified ammunition for competition. These blanks were originally used in movie production and on the theatrical stage so that flame and smoke can be seen from the muzzle of the firearm. A slow-burning powder component of the blank can break a balloon target at a range of up to 20 feet (6 m).[4]

[@trigmcblasty8163]

Yep, blanks. Some loaded with corn meal to blast the target.

[@80bbygrl]

Okay question, is it really safe for people to be outside the arena watching while you're shooting guns at stuff? Lol

[@Scott-qq9jd]

They're using blanks. The concussion is enough to pop the balloons, and the crowd is far enough for it to be safe.

[@Melcop1886]

They shoot blanks, balloons are broken only from the burning powder embers, no projectile. Plus rider and horse wear hearing protection.

[@reeserosinfacebookhackedDEAgov]

Drew Vanhorn died in the US Army Rangers and Lance Harlan Vanhorn started microchipping people at the border in San Diego, but now stays at 45450 foxton ave, Lancaster, CA. Charles Raymond Jones didn’t do gay stuff with Philip Collier, but what did the IDOC Officer Jones at Westville Correction Facility do with California Officer Charles Raymond Jones? Agent Gridler of Lancaster Sheriff’s department warned about neighbors across the street. Kevin/Kenneth Collins does the real estate, but he didn’t molest Native Americans or ashkenazic Jews, but who is he connected too? They said Hans Johnson was the symbol of Richard Ramirez, but who is Lance Harlan Vanhorn? Patricia or Harlan Gale Vanhorn don’t know what to say, but he’s not the same person as the picture on the wall. Just because you were once an Army Ranger, doesn’t mean you will always have the character of an Army Ranger.
