h)
In the Wrangler Class
the Parent/Legal Guardian and a qualified Range master shall be
present at the firing line.
One of these adults is to be
responsible for handing the live firearm to the Wrangler
competitor.
i)
WRANGLERS
should not be given a time for their shooting; instead they would
receive only penalties for missed balloons.
Timing encourages fanning, which
should not be allowed. It is suggested that riders 10 or 11
years of age ride, then shoot five rounds while standing on the
ground. Riders younger than 10
years old should ride only. The final decision about how the
Wrangler section of a match is to be run is left to the Match
Director.
j)
All ages are as of January 1st of calendar year.
k)
There will be two classes of Wrangler, Open & Limited as
follows: Open 10-11 and Limited 7-9.
l)
All Open wranglers shall wear holsters and either non-firing
replica or unloaded competition firearms. All Open wranglers shall
ride to and aim at all balloons and change guns.
m)
All wranglers and their horses shall be pre-qualified by the
range master for safe riding skills and demonstrate the ability to
control their horse and guns.
n)
A mandatory safety meeting with ALL Wrangler competitors,
parents, Wrangler Director and Range Master shall be held
immediately following the safety meeting prior to start of the main
match.
o)
All wranglers shall ground shoot with eye protection and ear
protection. A missed
balloon is a 5 second penalty.
