Just sent you girls some photos. I've not seen many people using them for barrels, but lots of ropers use 'em. Like I said, not great for the flex. I can always tell when my husband has used ours regularly on my barrel horses. They have that "stiff as a 2x4" feel through the ribs and neck for a few minutes when I first get back on them. I still love this bit and wish we had one more
