Bam, bam, bam!
In yesterday's article, I wrote about meeting a Rancho Cucamonga resident who was dubbed "fastest gun alive" after winning a cowboy fast draw championship. I'm not sure how Gilbert Guerra Jr., or any other cowboy fast draw competitors, do it. In a fraction of a second, they have to watch a light turn on, reach into their holsters and shoot a target 21 feet away.
As a writer, I feel fast meeting daily deadlines or typing 40 or 50 words a minute. But reacting in less than one second?
One second is actually a long time, Guerra's wife, Jennifer Guerra, said. She once broke a world record herself so she knows what she's talking about. "One Mississippi," she said. "See? It's a long time."
Here's a video of what this fast gun can do in one Mississippi.
