Banderillero

The placing of the Banderillas in the second act of the Bullfight.

A Matador usually employs three Banderillero's, each placing a pair of (Barbed sticks).

Or he may elect to place them himself.

In placing them he must pass across the line of the charging bull,his arms must be lifted hiegh and straight to get as close the the animal as possible.

And they don't get much closer than this.
