As the PRCA’s regular season starts to pick up heading into the summer run, the Resistol Rookies are gunning for their shots at the 2020 Resistol Rookie Header and Heeler year-end title. 

Resistol Rookie Headers: 

Britt Smith, who is heading for his older brother Jake Smith, placed third at the Mesquite (Texas) Championship Rodeo with a 4.9-second run, worth $682 a man. The header from Broken Bow, Oklahoma with $7,192.11 in PRCA earnings took an early lead at the beginning of the 2020 PRCA regular season and continues to rake in earnings in hopes of securing the Resistol Rookie Heading title once the regular season is over.
