Shoot-Outs
Again this year, the Rope the Rockies crew utilized two arenas inside the vastness of the Lazy E. It was a hit with ropers as they enjoyed the smoothness and swiftness of the event. Because there were more teams, the payout was more as well and thus it was a good deal all the way around. Rowdy Bond was the big winner cashing in at $15,640 for the week. The heeler from Ranger, Texas banked his biggest check on Friday, November 1 partnered with Jeremy Ball from Wynne, Arkansas. The duo placed first in the Average of the #9 on Friday, November 1 to earn checks worth $11,040. PHOTOS COURTESY OF 3 LAZY J PHOTOS
