He teaches you that you can ride out
a buck in most cases, but it is the spins that get you off (at least
quicker). So taking that into account you would not want to fire a gun
over a horses head as you see in the old western movies because it would cause
the horse to spin 180 and flee (as well as make the horse bob their head when
they hear the gun click and hurt their hearing). So... to eliminate as
much of the spin as possible you would fire directly to the rear of the horse
(and this would send the sound to the rear also). But the accuracy
of the shot would be low. So ideally the shot should be taken over the
right rear hindquarter, this will improve accuracy, send sound to the rear and
allow for only a 45 degree spin should the horse spook. So, if you
ever do need to use that gun... turn the horse and fire towards the
rear.

Excellent advise. I would also like to hear
his method of how to properly shoot off a horse.
