Well, in war and love everything is valid, and samurais, foot soldiers (who were peasants forced to enrole in army of the different Daimyos) shinobis, (these last mentioned were more honest with they dirty playing) had fake honor stuff, just like the gentleman wild west codes (which sometimes didn't worth nothing) of a certain number of outlaws, Marshals, sheriffs and bounty hunters, towards war and conflicts humans aren't that different from each other in the end
The swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today, Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped And the ranger's aim was deadly... With the big iron on his hip
@@arixen1623 the hand is for balance, the rearward lean is so that after the draw, he only has to lift the gun a few degrees before firing. Honestly some of these guys are brilliant
"Hey, Jimmy!" (Jimmy turns around) "What?" "You know what's gay?" "You? (Snickers to friends.) (Whispering) "death." (Holsters and unholsters revolver) "Haha you c-" (Falls over) Then, the kid rode away into the sunset with his boyfriend, never to be seen again.
Honestly, I'm no fast draw marksman, but i think, for a real quick-draw, you shouldn't be able to start with your hand on the firearm, at least not with your thumb on the hammer. I know It's a sport and everything, and i know it doesn't matter what settlers did in western times, (because to be honest duels in the streets are mostly a movie thing and never really happen a whole lot), but I'm pretty sure when dueling back then, you had to have your hand off of your firearm until the clock reached twelve or someone called it or whatever have you.
As a kid who watched Westerns, I was really kind of saddened when I learned a few years ago that the whole "fast draw" shootout of the Old West was mostly myth. What was next, that John Wayne really never fought in WWII?
yeh I totally agree with you - why can't they have have competitions where they don't start with hand already on gun AND where they stand straight, and don't look like they're cr***ing themselves. It would be more realistic AND far more interesting as a spectator sport....
If i were in the wild west and someone motioned to their gun for the draw , I would have drawn on them. The draw is beating the other to the gun, not with hand already on gun, so I agree with others
I'm from the UK but I love this video. What a great bunch of folks having fun. Boulder Vaquero's real name, by the way, over here is a swear (cuss) word !
I visited Mitchell South Dakota years ago. I drove from my home to go see Mt. Rushmore. I spent the night in Mitchell and liked it a lot. Friendly people.
AROUND THE 1960'S THE FLORIDA POLICE USED TO HAVE THERE GUN'S HANG'ING LOW,SOME WAS TIED OFF,..IN SOME MID WEST STATES THEY WEAR A WHITE COWBOY HAT,AND HAVE THE GUN LOW,AND TIED DOWN.I LIKE THE OKLAHOMA COWBOY HATS ALSO.GREAT LOOKIN,LOW IN THE BACK..
Bob the quickest gunslinger munden can shoot 4 targets before these guys can even hit 1 target- I dont think anyone will be quicker until the year 3000
Very nice vid and I'll be honest that poem actually made me tear up a bit. I'm pretty sure if my mother was still alive we would have gone to see one of these in person as she was all about the old west and something like this was right up her alley. Hell if she had the right gun she probably would have entered just for fun.
Well yes and no, in the immortal words of Wyatt Earp-“the most important lesson I learned...was that the winner of a gunplay usually was the one who took his time. The second was that, if I hoped to live on the frontier, I would shun flashy trick-shooting--grandstand play--as I would poison... In all my life as a frontier peace officer, I did not know a really proficient gunfighter who had anything but contempt for the gun-fanner, or the man who literally shot from the hip.” Its still cool though, but CBA 3 gun is my favorite.
Not reflexes, meaning how fast you can react to something. A conditioned reflex, meaning an action which has been trained to the point of being instinctual. Which is true, as long as your memory and motor functions still hold, you do not lose those with age. These men’s draw is akin to something like walking and breathing. They’ve done it so many times for so long they don’t even need to think about it.
Fast and accurate. Might not be fastest but since hand already on gun that opens up cross draw or shoulder holster. I would try leaning forward just to be different. Since target is stationary in relation to me with practice should be able to hit target reliably.
After seeing The fast gunslinger of all time. And that would be the Mr. Bob Munden. The fast draw championship don’t even come close. Hes the greatest and the fastest of not this time not that time. But OF ALL TIME.
Hate to tell you this Quick Cal but; if you are off by 1 degree at 21 feet that is about 4.3 inches and that’s still a hit on a 24 inch plate. In fact you cold even be 2 degrees of.....
@ There not lies stupid the roping saddle as it is now called was built with a low cantel so the stunt men could fall from the horses easyer a hollywood invention duels were always faughtt with a sword until the gun was invented at first at twenty paces and later a hollywood fast draw was invented with special holsters bake in the day it was mostly a shotgun blast in the back you idiot you should lay off the meth
@ Forgot to mention one other thing I cowboyed for most of my life and I know what I am talking about so a little salt in the wound Wyett Earp said at the gun fight they had the revolvers in their coat pockets because of the no carry law in Tombston
Imagine Carson City. High noon. A duel to the death. Your opponent stands there leaning back as if he was pissing along his right leg without using his hands...
Where's Cisco? Figured he'd be on here. He was on a show (on the Outdoor Channel I believe?) where different shooters do trick shots with pistols, bows, shotguns, etc.
