Re: [RC] guns - Sisu West Ranch"... in case the horse breaks a leg. But in some 20,000 miles of riding over 40 years I've never had that happen or been with anyone who had it happen, so it's a pretty low probability..."" What about the thread on RC last month about the person who sat in a cold creek for hours while her horse died? Some areas are very remote, and can be quite dangerous. By the way, a number of years ago the Western Horseman had an article on the proper way to put a horse down with a firearm. You make an imaginary "X" on the horses head from the eyes to the base of the ears, that is the proper spot for the shot. While larger is definately better, a shot placed there will do the job reliably.
