Well, things went pretty well in my quick draw lesson. Larry, whose nickname is “Marshall Cahill”, showed me some techniques he uses in his competitions. The real fun part was learning some of the moves that made Eastwood such a hit back in the day. Just in a matter of a few hours I was flipping the colt replica like true western gunslinger. He even gave me rig (gun and holster) to practice with, which I’ll have to do for a few hours each day to really get to where handling the gun is second nature. All in all a really fun experience and what a cool talent to have anyway, right? I can see it now…

Ruffian on street, “Give me your money, sucker!” Me, slowly turning, hand on my trusty sixshooter, “Looks like you picked the wrong guy to mug, punk.” Bang, bang! Down he goes in a hail of bullets as I holster with a whirl.

Well, maybe I should just stick to practicing in my apartment and leave the gun battles to the big screen.
