Question

8. Why do you think sharpshooting was not featured at rodeos?

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe sharpshooting was not featured at rodeos because it would spook the bulls.

Explanation:

There were live animals at rodeos and loud noises would spook them, these animals were dangerous and mounted by humans, therefore gunfire during a rodeo would have proved fatal.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sharpshooting was one of the way of losing the celebrity status for cowboy performers at the rodeo. During the early time of the Wild West Shows, there were sharpshooters who wowed audiences with precise shots.

Few of the celebrities of that time were Annie Oakley, Calamity Jane. One of the last, was a Texan called Joe Bowman who was active through the nineteen sixties. Cowboy Mounted Shooting, a new sport, has become popular at rodeos instead now. It combines shooting at balloons along with barrel racing.
