Just completed my first Cowboy Action Shooting match - I see the appeal

Yea, twirling a loaded gun is a good way to off yourself. Still requires exceptional stupidity to do it with a single action.

Gimpy the man who blew a hole through himself here at our local range? Yes tough to do with a single action. But? How bout a guess he had the hammer cocked? Whatever poor bloke is deceased so he ain't talkin. I won't ruin everyones dinner but the para. said the hole going in was not to bad it was the one coming out his back.
I'll tell yah about the girl blew 2 fingers off holding the pistol barrel checking if it was loaded later. Pretty girl just short a few fingers.
