I saw over on Mr. Completely's blog that he had a Cowboy Fast Draw match at his local club, the Holmes Harbor Rod and Gun Club. Mr. C has included Cowboy Fast Draw in the last two Gun Blogger Rendezvous, and I expect it will be part of the fun again this year. While he is best known for shooting steel with his home built .22 High Standard, Mr. Completely is a well rounded shooter, and he showed us how to shoot the Drag Race stage with Bea's .45 Ruger Blackhawk.(Above) He's pretty good on fast draw, too, as you will see in the second video below.
The first video is one I have run before, with Quick Cal giving the Gun Bloggers a lesson in the mechanics of performing a quick draw with a single action revolver.
The second video is a new one, and it shows some of the action during our little contest. The ammo for these fast draw contests consists of brass cases machined to accept a shotgun primer, and a wax bullet pressed into the case mouth. Ear and eye protection must be worn by all present; shotgun primers are loud, and the wax bullets can bounce occasionally.
Gun Blogger Rendezvous VI is coming up in September, and it's important to remember that you do not have to be a blogger to attend. If you follow the blogs, like to shoot, want to learn a little bit about shooting, or maybe just meet some of the bloggers you read, you should sign up and go to Reno!
