I know these are old videos but I just used your videos to teach my oldest of three daughters and I cannot thank you enough! I can’t even express how thankful I am and how easy you made it!

This guy is an amazing teacher

Thanks for all the great comments guys and gals. Let me know if I can help out with any specifics.

Great break down and walk through on the instruction - Much appreciated sir

I can't tell you how much I appreciate these videos! My four year-old is getting ready for her first season of rodeo and we just found out that they've added dummy roping to the list of events. I have NO idea how to rope and now have to teach her, so thank you!! :)

I'm a retired teacher and you are an effective teacher. Thanks!

While i was 4 years old, i always want to swing ropes yes you are a great teacher!!!!!!!! 😃😃😃😃

Man your videos are literally how I taught myself to rope. 100 percent.

just have to say... "muy importante" at 2:27, this made my day :D im using this video series for a school project, it is very helpful! thank you!!!

its great to know someone from Montana. can't wait till summer finally comes lol! great video!

Great job on providing a well thought out, clear video. If all KZread videos explained things step by step as you have done the world would be a better place.

Great videos Dru. I've been looking for someone that takes his time and breaks it all down. I have my boy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.

thank you! you are a born teacher!

Thank you so so much for this series. The absolute best that I’ve found.

Dru, just wanted to say that you know how to break it down. Your videos are great for a beginner or for someone who is just looking to refine their own skills!! Two thumbs up!!

Your videos are very helpful to me. thank ya

You’re a good teacher

Man I love your videos.

Excellent video. Thank you

Great, very helpful video. Thanks.

Very good, this good stuff easy to follow

Great video. Very helpful.

Dru - first of all, thank you very much for taking the time to put these videos together, I know what a time commitment it is. I'm brand new to roping and just picked up a used youth rope to get started. I had watched a few videos before, but came across yours tonight and they have been most helpful. I noticed after about 30 minutes of practicing tonight that my hand was raw. I did figure out that I was swinging it wrong after watching your videos, so that may have something to do with it. I was just wondering if you would recommend starting with a glove and if so, what kind of glove? I noticed you were just wearing some cheap work gloves, does it really matter, or just preference? Thanks again for all you do, and the time you put into teaching!

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS...I am wanting to learn so bad! Tried getting a lesson from a guy and all he did was hit on me.

EXCELLENT!!

Thanks,great video

You are the best

Thank you.

I tried roping for the first time today but I twisted my wrist too much.. gonna try your method on the next time :)

Hey dru your videos are very helpful i'm able to put the rope where i want it being a few weeks in but i'm having trouble figuring out how to hold my coil when i throw. do i hold the tail and let the three coils go as i throw the loop?

She had that Honda loaded down.

thank you

Whoo! Watching from Montana!! 😀

I drive through Montana, alot.

I live in Montana :-)

@drustrew would you be willing to look at some practice dummy roping videos to see if my swing looks alright? I feel like I have too much wrist action....

You imply here and in an earlier video that these instructions are for team roping. I'm just wondering if these basics are specific to team roping or if the techniques taught here apply to all types of roping.

I'm unsure what you mean by all kinds of roping but yes this should apply to everything. Heeling is a bit different in the swing though.

Hey Caleb, your basic swing can be developed by these fundamentals, but your tip angle, target, and how you pull your slack changes when roping calves BUT if you follow these basics and learn to catch the horns then work on roping a bale of hay on it's side around the bottom string you can start developing a good calf loop. Message me with any questions and I'll be glad to help.

My loop does not stay as a loop, it shifts to an oblong, and then it ends up as a figure eight. What am doing wrong, and how do I correct this?

Hey Robert, so your loop is supposed to get oblong. That's how you feel your tip. The reason you are figure eighting your loop could be a few things. If possible, go to my Facebook.com/drujstew.me page, take a video of you swinging your rope, and send it to me on messenger or email me at drujstew@gmail.com. I'll watch and help.

+Dru Stewart I posted a video on your page several weeks ago, did you see it? Also, did you make any videos of how to swing a rope from a horse? I am learning to ride and rope at the same time. Not a good idea, I suppose, but it is a good use of time because I get worn out after a trotting for a while. Nice break to walk the horse and swing a rope. Also, I find that is not easy to coil a rope while on a horse. I am not a cowboy, I just wanted to learn some skills after photographing a local High School rodeo. I need to attend a roping clinic.

did anyone else have a problem with hitting themselves, or almost hitting themselves in the head while bringing the rope around? can anyone help with that?

Why are we leaving a tail?

PSA there’s no next video

Too much talking and too long of a video

Hey dru your videos are very helpful i'm able to put the rope where i want it being a few weeks in but i'm having trouble figuring out how to hold my coil when i throw. do i hold the tail and let the three coils go as i throw the loop?
