I remember when I first started roping about a year or so ago, how I watched this video and it didn’t make any sense to me. Now, coming back, I actually understand! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
I don't speak english very well but I've seen almost all your videos! Thanks for the dedication with videos.
Sorry my english, its because I'm from Brazil!!!
Tbm moro no Brasil e não falo inglês
I freaking love your style! Best I’ve seen!
This makes me feel so much better! Unfortunately I don’t have me a horse or the land needed but I have been roping for fun since high school. I can head and heel the dummy but I was watching actual team ropings and I always noticed the heeler releases their hand flat. So I had been trying to catch like I saw on a live steer but very little luck. So, to make a long story short…YES!!!
Always get a lot from your videos Dru! I actually stay in Wagoner during the week
Still watching your videos man hope you’re well
Thanks. Your tips answered a lot of questions I had. Rangers can be taught.
You are the best teacher ever thank you so much you have helped me a lot keep it up please!!
This was by far the most helpful video yet!!! Thank you!
I was getting to that point where I was going to look for a headin horse. Lol
This video is so underrated.
Been heading for years wanted to start heeling and this helps a lot. Thank you.
thanks alot dru this helped me heaps im only 13 and still learning to heel and i just couldnt get it, but as soon as this video came along everything came together :)
Thank you so much for this video! I'm around a ton of ropers and everyone of them tell me something different, but never break things down like shown here. I'm going to take this info and run with it! Again, thank you so much:)
Mr99939,
Thanks for watching the videos. As long as your bottom strand is coming back to you under the feet, then you can work on placing the top strand as high or low as you want to on the right leg. The higher the better. The higher your top strand (with bottom coming back to you) the bigger and more open your loop is.
The cowboy in me is listening to every word the waterfowl hunter in me is thinkin about baggin some honkers haha
Mr99939,
As a beginner, your target should be to hit the hock (that joint in the steers hind leg half way up) with your top strand. As you develop your delivery, you start looking at both legs and making sure your swing is covering the area of the legs and when you deliver your loop is more than plenty big enough to catch both feet. So my long answer is, I don't have a target. I just try to cover the area of the feet with my swing so when I deliver I have lots of room for error.
thanks Dru. this realty helps. i always try two have the top strain hitte the flink
I am a 14 year old highschool rodeo heeler, what stiffness of rope should I use. Right now I use a medium. Any suggestions or opinions would be helpful.
realy good video. thanks for posting it helped me alot
Great videoi like the way you broke the steps down, it has really helped me with my heeling
Loved it!
This is a good video thank you it helped me out alot
great video, really helped! do you have and tips for left handed beginners?
So there are 2 types of heel loops the sweep style and the trap. Do you ever throw the trap style? Thank you for your videos, they are excellent!
good tips
Hey Catman,
So your tip is coming around nicely but your bottom strand is kicking out. Do this for me, rope the feet without letting go of anything ten times in a row. Then on the 11th time, do the same exact thing and let go of your loop AFTER your rope hits the right leg. You should notice that your bottom came right back to you and you get a huge curl on your rope. 2 other things: You have too much between your hands. Your tip isn't to the left and your not delivering with your hand vertical
Can you please do a video on the trapping side of heeling
hay thinks for getting back to me so quick. Are u coming 2 Okla city in Oct?
Nice!
you know chad evans. stud!
I'm getting the traps set right and all but I'm not giving any slack. Im not giving my self any time. Any advice?
Is it the same with.. Left handed ropers
hey dru, im following this video, but sometime my tip comes back like its supposed to, but my bottom strand goes forward infront of the legs why does this happen?
i wish i had a heel-o-matic. could i do the same thing on a saw horse?
i just set my saw horse up and throw my loop and try and correctly set my trap
What kind of rope are you using?
Dru. when i make my throw my bottom strain comes back so far that my top strain goes forward an just falls down. then it looks like a big zero laying there.
how close do u get before u throw /
Why do heeler’s use a harder rope?
a few geese calling in the backround
I'm not backing up Obama any anyway shape or form. But youtube controls the ads on the videos, not the guy who uploaded the video.
Do you pull the slack or just dally after
Kristina Garza both pull then dally
Bet you got that from marathon Texas
Now I gotra adjust my delivery
were is your target?
when u and your partner pratrece, what do u work on 2 gether ?
If there is one thing in this whole wide world I can't... I mean I can't stand. It's ignorant people. Welcome to the list bub.
