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.
