Tying one on
hanawalt — Mon, 2011-04-04 12:33As one who has cowboyed in Montana for more than 40 years, I am of course a dally roper. But I am here to tell you that it is possible to do BOTH!
Years ago in the Bears Paw Mountains of northcentral Montana, Lawrence Mitchell taught me the thechnique: take a turn of the rope - dar la vuelta - around your horn, then pass the tail of your rope under your thigh.
When the critter hits the end of the rope it holds tight, and you can easily knot the rope when you get off. Yet if you get in a wreck and seperate from the horse before everything is secure, the rope can come free.
There are times when I have jerked my slack and wished that I had been tied hard and fast, and times when I was glad for the opportunity to let go. ( See "The End of My Rope" at http://www.montanacowboycollege.com/the_end_of_my_rope.htm)

To Dally or To Tie On
South Texas Cowboy — Thu, 2011-03-10 12:56They both serve a good purpose. I've watch ropers do both and found Tying on using a quick release works well. However, most using the tying on method for hard and fast securing also use double cinch saddles. A fast running rope can create rope burns or find the running line catching a finger or grab the whole hand although dallying the rope allows for better control paying out line as needed bringing it to a stop. It is also more commonly used in other profession requiring line handling to dally the line, or pay out be in maritime or rough necking.
Competition allows for the hard and fast tied down method only in the junior roping, women's roping or males over 50 years old. I believe if you want to rope hard and fast, go with it but use using a hog string to secure the line would also allow for it's quick release without the need of cutting.

Desert Rat — Thu, 2011-03-17 09:43Gotta agree it's the situation your in.When doctoring calves we always tied hard and fast. But when ya rope an old maverick out of the brush and need to snub it to a tree a dally is a lot safer.
