Shoot Yeah

I love mine. I've had it 7 years or so now. I had never heard of them until BHW and wanted to have one custom made for mounted shooting, but having never actually seen one I was worried about ordering it. I found one for sale online and bought it so I could see what they were like first. When I first took it out of the box (it was used - but barely) I kind of panicked. The leather was really stiff and thin feeling. I had a couple Cactus' and the quality just didn't feel the same. At first I had a real strong buyer's remorse. Then I oiled it up really good several times and started riding in it. It was real narrow in the seat, which I like, but it took some getting used to balance-wise. Once I got used to it I really liked it. Also, it's very lightweight which was a big deal for me because I was having trouble throwing my heavy Cactus' up. I never did order a custom one because I realized the one I bought was exactly like what I would have ordered anyway. It's held up really well for me so far.

Love mine!! Very lightweigh. I win quite a bit of $$$ in them! I own 2 and just had to regretfully sell one because my young horses body changed! They fit a more racier QH/TB type built horse! Sit you centered and give you the ability to sit and get up and hustle! Good luck
