5 Team Roping Heading Tips From Pro Headers
Tip #1: Get The Angle Of Your First Swing Right (With Charly Crawford)
In this video, Charly Crawford explains how to angle your first swing correctly. Why is this important? Simple: the angle of your first swing can make the difference between a good run and a poor one. The goal is for the loop to be flat and pointed toward the horns. Think speed is power? Not so fast. As Charly points out, your power comes not from speed, but from a steady, level, front to back motion.
Tip #2: Get In The Correct Position Driving To The Steer (With Charly Crawford)
How can you make the most of a training session with a dummy? Charly Crawford takes us through the steps to correct positioning in this heading tip video. When practicing a competition run with a dummy, it’s important to back off the dummy somewhat. This simulates a longer box, where you’ll have to ride for a while before taking your shot. Watch as Charly explains how he creates a visual with the tip of his rope above the horns before a throw. Next, Charly goes over the steps for correct positioning while driving to the steer, and the correct hand positioning while making a delivery.
Tip #3: Leave The Box In The Correct Position (With Charly Crawford)
When leaving the box, your left hand should stretch slightly forward, and your right shoulder should be a bit further back. But as Charly explains in this video, this can cause both you and the horse to lean to the left. So what’s the key to this balancing act? Keeping your shoulders parallel, of course. See Charly demonstrate this important posture, then try it out for yourself!
Tip #4: Slow Motion Roping (With Jojo Lemond)
Wish you could see every detail of a pro’s run, right down to each twist and turn of the rope? Now you can, with this high-quality video from X Factor Roping. Observe legendary 4-time NFR qualifier Jojo Lemond during several well-executed runs in slow motion. Watch Jojo demonstrate ultimate control, both in practice and in competition runs, all at half speed.

Tip #5: The Key To A Good Catch (With Pace Freed)
Do you know the key to making it easier for you and your partner to catch a steer? Watch and listen as Pace Freed, founder of X Factor Roping, shares one of his favorite team roping heading tips in this video. Great horsemanship can do wonders when dealing with all types of cattle during competition, especially steer that run fast or veer to the side. It’s important to keep your horse running so your shot won’t be taken away while delivering your rope. As Pace explains, horsemanship and correct body positioning on the horse can help you win more money in competition, even with difficult cattle.
