Les Vogt's "Fast Time" Roper Bits
Fast Time bits are a new and innovative line of bits created especially for team ropers but they're proving to be a real hit with barrel racers too! As a very passionate low-number heeler myself, I know that if a horse pulls, or you have to argue with him in your approach, that it takes away from your focus on the throw. These bits have been specifically designed to take the effort out of guiding your horse, and help him to score better, break flatter and rate to an adjustable position – giving you more accuracy. |

We've spend three years developing and testing these Fast Time bit combinations with every level of roper and horse and everyone who tried them got the same results—whether you're a top-of-the-line high-number player, or a low-number roper that can't stand distractions and still rope, these bits will make it easier to control your horse—so the better you're going to rope. It's that simple! |
The cheeks on these bits are the same length that you're used to, and some of the mouthpieces might look familiar too. However the unique leverage position on the Fast Time bits will not only give your more drop, or lower the horse's head, but it means that the the top of the bit moves a little slower, giving your horses "pre-signals", so they can feel your hand start to move BEFORE they get the shock of the curb and it really lets them relax. When your horses figure out that these bits give them a chance to follow your hand and avoid the curb, they just start melting off the bit – you're going to notice a big difference instantly. Without the proper tools you can't accomplish anything near as fast as the guy who has them, and these bits are the tools you need to improve your roping.
You Can't Have Just One! |

Here are the bits >
The Fast Time line offers six different mouth pieces, so there’s something that will work for virtually every situation and every horse, but none of these bits will scare a horse unless they’re misused. Every bit comes with a curb strap and all the cheek pieces are the same and are 3/16" thick so they’ll be very durable. Every bit is guaranteed too, so if a bit should ever break on you under normal use, you just send it back and we'll get you a new one. Also, in the first 30 days, if you decide that you chose the wrong mouthpiece for you horse, just send it back to us and we’ll exchange it for one that will work better for you.
Every bit comes with a chain curb. Keep in mind that because the bits are fairly high leverage, the curb will need to be tighter than you’re used to. The old two finger rule does not apply to these curbs. Think of a scale from 1 to 10, Where 1 is in the neutral position where the bit is just hanging in the horse’s mouth, with no rein pressure on the bit’s shank, and 10 is full throttle position (with no curb chain attached)- that is the shank is pulled back as far as it will go - these bits need to be stopped by the engagement of the curb chain at 5 - halfway between 1 and 10. After that you can adjust the it a bit tighter or looser depending on your best results. But your baseline, or starting point, needs to be at 5.
