At first I thought "Well they must have cleared the arena and have a safety perimeter" and then I saw her shoot right at the camera and I thought "well maybe it is a remote camera" and then I see her shooting at 0:37 with the guy in the red shirt down range of her shot and I was like "What the Jesus loving fuck?!?!?" Can anyone explain 1) how people don't die watching this and 2) Where can I see this live?!?!?

You should realize she's not shooting regular ammunition, they shoot black powder blanks.

This is correct, the pressure from the blank pops the balloon

I was suspecting bird shot rounds. Blanks do not pop balloons at 10y

The burning black powder being flung from the gun is hot enough to melt a ballon.

This would make sense. A shower of sparks like that is something from the movies, rather than a fireball like one would see at the range. I'm going with Occam's Razor, this sounds the most plausible.

No projectiles. Just black powder.

Do the horses get earplugs? That shit has to be loud right at the ear, and he doesn't even flinch.
