Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cowboy Fast Draw and how does it differ from other shooting sports?

Cowboy Fast Draw is a competitive shooting sport that emphasizes speed and accuracy using period-correct firearms and holsters. Competitors use wax bullets and aim at a target 15 feet away after a randomized light signal. It differs from sports like SASS, which uses live ammunition and focuses more on historical reenactment.

What are the benefits of using a laser sight on a firearm for self-defense?

Laser sights enhance and maintain accuracy in crisis situations, aiding in keeping you on target even when unbalanced, evading a threat, or engaging from behind cover. They provide a visual aid for rapid target acquisition.

Why is it important to manage a firearm collection with a digital log?

Managing a firearm collection with a digital log, spreadsheet, or database is crucial for inventory tracking, insurance purposes in case of theft or damage, and to provide clear information to heirs. This is especially important for larger collections.

How does a firearm act as an equalizer in self-defense scenarios?

A firearm acts as an equalizer by leveling the playing field between individuals of different physical strengths. It allows a person to defend themselves effectively against a physically superior attacker, including those with specialized combat training.
