No easy feat right there. The balancing isn't the issue until after the shot has been fired

[browningautorifle]

It looks good though...wonder if it's in the book?

[Patrick Chadwick]

Since the backsight appears to have a protective cover over it, his grouping is going to be very, very poor. Even if the horse is stone-deaf! (Maybe it's a wooden horse?)

[Mark in Rochester]

Makes you wonder about the Calvary

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

Begs the questions. Very well trained horses? Very foolish soldiers?

[browningautorifle]

Too much time on their hands. Troops today still do stuff like that...but not with horses... 40mm Bean Bag Grenade To The Chest Like A Boss

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

Horse play is one thing but the guy that took the bag is a Hammer Head.

Perhaps these photos is were the term "horse play" originated?

[browningautorifle]

the guy that took the bag is a Hammer Head.

Got to agree with you there. Just glad it wasn't my guys and I just happened to be coming by with the Sgt Major at that second...just as they fired...

I still had to laugh though, I've known guys just like that.

[Paul S.]

I don't even want to think of the probable outcome of that if he'd taken the bean bag on the sternum instead of the upper abs.
