I think you're correct about it taking between 4 and 8 beats (more like 6).
If you want someone to ask, I'm pretty sure Jane Ewing of Alabama wrote a dance with
this move in it.
I don't think that we need to be rigid about the names we use today, but I suspect
that historically cowboy loop was for four people and rip and snort was for 8. There are
callers who have been calling longer than I have and can correct me if I'm wrong.

I've looked in the usual places and came up with only two examples of a dance with a
Rip/Snort (Rip 'n' Snort?) but one is inaccessible online.
How many beats does it take to dance a rip/snort for two couples? My brain says 4 is too
short and 8 is too long. I found one dance that pairs it with a ring balance for a total
of 8 beats.
I haven't access to "Roll Over Johannes" to see how Becky Hill made use of
it.
Thanks
