Marty Jones joins Fast Back Team

GRANBURY, TX - Joining the elite Fast Back team is Steer and Tie Down roper, Marty Jones, of Hobbs, New Mexico. With over three-quarters of a million dollars in career earnings Jones has qualified for the National Finals Steer Roping thirteen times and qualified for the Wrangler National Finals twice.

Jones was instrumental in bringing the National Finals Steer Roping to his hometown of Hobbs where he owns and operates Bootsie's Western Store. Introduced to the Fast Back poly, the Iron Silk, this year at the Spicer Gripp Memorial roping in Herefored, Texas, Marty has been hooked ever since. "The Iron Silk give me a truer go than a traditional poly rope. Stretch in a rope. Stretch in a rope results in inconsistency in a run due to the recoil, and it's hard to predict when and how much it will hit. The Iron Silk allows me to be more consistant and faster since I don't have to compensate for this." says Jones. "I can use the same Iron Silk in both steer roping and tie down roping and I like the convenience. With the low maintenance and great feel, the Iron Silk is my rope of choice." Fast Back Ropes is proud to welcome Marty to their team of professional cowboys and ropers. --end--
