“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.
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!
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 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.
@@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?
I was introduced to this at a fair years ago. A group in New Boston NH. I will not rest until I participate... Thank you. Drew. Your passion is Felt. Thank you Mike. These are the things that make men great. Iron sharpens iron
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.
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 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.
Great video thank you for you're honesty, life is not a straight line there will always be high's and lows. Its what you do to over come and persevere that shows your true strength, respect from down under mate.
I went in the Army in 2000, I was a Cavalry Scout... This is right up my alley, too bad I can't do it, not allowed as I am waiting on having brain surgery. ER we meet upon the Fiddlers Green, Scouts Out!
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
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.
We won the west this way. It wasn’t easy then, either. This was the ends , for all those means. When the men are gone , there will always be horses.Because we always need something, more….and this is more ⚔️😎

That’s crazy impressive!! Really cool to hear how Drew found the sport, thank you for sharing!!!

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

They also put ear plugs in the horse as well
Thanks for sharing how you turned a struggle into a passion and a purpose.
Thank you!❤❤❤

Love it. That was something I always wanted to do. Just never took the time. Glad you did.

Drew, thanks for your service. The Rangers look badass.
You love horses and you mush like guns. Great combination. And by the looks of it your having fun. All to you. 👍
LOOKS LIKE FUN. HOPE THE HORSE DONT GO DEAF!!!!
Earplugs. You can see one hanging from the bridle close to the end of the video.
We use earplugs

That is one of the coolest things I've seen.
Damn dude, professional editing, nice work

Horses are cheaper and more effective than therapy. Personal experience.
Absolutely!

This is amazing
Epic. Great work!
Great aim!
Very Very cool!!! Big Red is amazing! God bless you!
Great video, very talented, love ❤️ the channel 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Richard Warren passenger of the Mayflower received a portion of livestock on his 2 acres.
Makes him America's first 🤠.
Modern cowboy 🤠 et cowgirl! Horses galloping speed and draws.
This is Fn sick!
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?
Yep, blanks. Some loaded with corn meal to blast the target.
Thanks for sharing your story Drew... looks like an amazing sport.. quick question is there training for this sport in North Carolina?

HONEY, THE ANGER WAS DIRECTED EXACTLY WHERE THEY WANTED IT TO GO!
this is badass af.
How much more fun could it get than runnin and gunnin horseback
This is CONTENT
That’s badass
That's so bad ass
Fat chaw in and Bustin targets horseback, GETCHUSUM!
Do the horses have ear protection?!
I think it's important to learn how to ride by just Holding on to the horses mane first.
Good video, and great shooting, but I feel sorry for the horse that he doesnt have
ear protection but you do.....
I wanna try to get into this. What's the best way to start?
I’ve always wondered, does the horse have ear plugs?
Where can I watch this show?
2:32 bat masterson ?
Love to learn this skill!
Thank You for sharing
Ooorrrrraaaa
So what kinda rounds are they using looks like he's shooting in different directions so how's that work exactly?
Blanks.
This is awesome 😎 I would hate to be that horses 🐎 ears 👂 though 😂
The horse is wearing earplugs
@@JohnnyD6254 awesome didn’t know they made horse earplugs but that makes sense!
@@JordanJimmyDavison tampons work too
If you don't have a horse check out Cowboy Action Shooting 🤠
We won the west this way. It wasn’t easy then, either. This was the ends , for all those means. When the men are gone , there will always be horses.Because we always need something, more….and this is more ⚔️😎
Who’s single action 6 shooter is that
?
Anybody who isn't impressed by this doesn't know what it means to challenge themselves
Free Range.
That can't be good for the horses ears (I wanna do this)
the horse is deaf lol
Actually you stuff with earplugs.
Yee-haw…..
Looks expensive
Okay question, is it really safe for people to be outside the arena watching while you're shooting guns at stuff? Lol
They're using blanks. The concussion is enough to pop the balloons, and the crowd is far enough for it to be safe.
They shoot blanks, balloons are broken only from the burning powder embers, no projectile. Plus rider and horse wear hearing protection.
RAD
RLTW
Not to sound odd, but shouldn't it be " Horse mounted shooter " ? Aint nobody tryna mount cowboys
oopsies
I accidentally disliked this… it was an accident
