1. Attend a match and ask anyone to point out a board member who can introduce you to experienced shooters. We all love to talk about the sport!
2. Polish your riding skills in arenas so you confidently guide the horse around a course. Start at a walk or trot and then move to a canter.
3. Train your horse by bringing him to matches to see how he handles gunfire. Tie him up with seasoned horses that ignore gunfire. About 90% of horses can handle gunfire if trained properly. Above all, go slowly at a speed that the horse is comfortable and you are safe. Older horses typically do very well. We have horses over 20 years old who still win matches. A current world champion horse is 17!
4. Consider taking some lessons with your horse. Our club has several members who train both horse and rider. They have trained many horses. Unless you are an advanced rider, it is wise to have an accomplished rider fire that first shot off horseback.
5. Get advice on revolvers and holsters. This saves money in the long run. Members often have pistols and holsters for sale.
6. Most of all, come out and get started!
