Which event utilizes a bell collar catch?

The bell collar catch is primarily utilized in breakaway roping. This technique involves roping a calf at a designated distance and using a quick-release knot. The bell collar catch helps ensure that the rope remains on the calf's neck while allowing for a clean release when the roper's horse stops.

In breakaway roping, the goal is not to get the calf to the ground, but rather to catch it quickly and efficiently. The use of the bell collar catch enables the roper to maintain control over the calf while executing the technique needed to successfully perform and time the catch perfectly.

While other roping events, such as team roping, may also involve different types of catches and techniques, the distinct nature of the bell collar catch specifically aligns with the requirements and objectives of breakaway roping.
