[QUOTE="Trb696, post: 1657699, member: 107850"] Most horses can be desensitized to shooting noise over time and with patient training. Easing them into it with rim fire up. Remember, how long armies and cowboys shot from horseback... Had one cool horse who stood next to my dove hunting chair with me, and retrieved downed birds, albeit slowly, on his own, no kidding! Watch slow motion video of the escacaping muzzle blasts for a great visual on what your wanting to suppress. Helps visualize what you need to control.
