Dead Eye Mike
April 27th, 2006 : by Mike LutzI’m very excited. This weekend I’ve got my first quick draw lesson. I had been searching for someone to help me with some of my holstering skills, and in my internet travels I have stumbled upon this society of people who love to quick draw. They participate in what’s called “Cowboy Action Shooting” and from what I understand it’s a game where participants are judged on style, speed, and accuracy. So I get ahold of this guy, who runs the “Ventura County Gunfighters”, and has appeared in many of these competitions, and ask him if he can help me. I can’t wait to report back on this. They even have nicknames in these competitions…I’ve been thinking of one myself…how’s “Dead Eye Mike”? That might be taken the wrong way actually…I’ll have to work on it.

Mike you could train yourself to be a quick draw like Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show, you would be allowed one bullet and if you mess up your gun will be taken away.
How about the “Smoking Gun” competition? Hummmm the nickname might be already in use.
Good luck and try not to shoot your self in the foot.
