Fast Draw is a sport based on the romanticized art of the gunslingers in the American Old West, using traditional single action revolvers. Unlike Cowboy action shooting, Fast Draw is shot with special blanks or wax bullets. While some competitions are strictly against the clock, with the fastest time winning, many are set up as head to head single or double elimination matches.
While the ability to draw a firearm quickly was a useful skill in the Wild West, modern Fast Draw is inspired more by Western movie duels than historical gunfights.
