I've been back from Las Vegas for a little over a week and I feel like I'm almost recovered.  The Western US Championships was a great experience.  I'm working on editing video so I can share my journey with you, so hang tight on that one.  

This week I want to share with you an interview I did about a month ago.  Cecil and Leslie Berry are getting close to wrapping up their first year of mounted shooting and they really jumped in with both feet.  There are some great little anecdotes in this interview that are interesting and provide a great perspective.  Cecil also has a unique set of holsters that you might find interesting.  Enjoy, and as always please feel free to comment or ask questions.  

This is the last episode in our new shooters series. In this video we briefly walk you though how to enter your first competition and what you can expect during the while experience. Be sure that you have become a member of the association that you will be shooting with before you go to your first shoot.

This is an episode that we could have made an hour long.  Getting your horse used to gunfire can be a long process.  In this video we give you a very brief overview of one way to do this.  Please keep in mind that most horses won't get through all the steps in this video in one session. Reward your horse when they try and be sure to quit on a high note. If your horse only gets comfortable with dry firing on the ground in the first training session that's just fine.  Accept and reward your horse's effort.  It is worth the time to do it right, trust me!   
One thing that I have always struggled with is having to reload all the time.  One solution to that problem is to go to a sporting goods store or even Wal-Mart and pick up an air soft or pellet gun that uses little CO2 tanks.  Don't put any ammo or pellets in it and use that pistol to get your horse used to the gun fire.  It's a nice option because you don't have to reload very often, it's light, it's cheap, and it makes a noise but it's not quite as loud as black powder.  
If you want to see another way do expose your horses to gunfire with the help of other horses, check out this video by Stacy Westfall.  As always if you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment. 

This week we are discussing holsters.  There are so many options when it comes to holsters.  So check out the video below and as always, feel free to ask any questions or leave a comment about your favorite holsters.

This is another short and sweet video.  We are briefly talking about the ammo that is used for mounted shooting.  Don't worry, we don't shoot ammo with real bullets, otherwise we wouldn't have many spectators.  ;-)  As always, if you have any questions please feel free to write them below.  Next week, HOLSTERS!

Hello mounted shooters! This weeks episode focuses on pistols for mounted shooting.  This video is intended as a brief overview.  We seriously could have done a 45 minute video just on pistols but no one wants to watch that.  Please comment below if you have any questions.

Episode 2 is short and sweet.  We discuss what kind of horse is best for mounted shooting.
