I've read that Hickock drew his revolver already ready to shoot and even kill an opponent. That second or so it takes to decide to shoot was NOT with 'Ol Wild Bill! He was comitted before his trained muscles and nerves strted movement! There was NO other thought in mind.
It sounds easy but really stop and ask yourself "am I THAT ready?" Most likely the honest answer is NO!
I know that I have to come to some way of thinking Wild Bill had.
I'm an average guy with average worries of what will happen to me if I shoot? Shedding those worries off is the main detriment to shooting like Wild Bill! He didn't worry as the shot was already fired in his mind.
The Bad guys have it, they don't care and are coming up firing at you. No regrets, no thoughts of what'll happen to them or their families future, just firing as fast as possible at you! There is no safety vest or protection for you, just commitment of purpose on YOUR part!
I know this will take a lot of pratice and I'm working on it, I gotta live through this thing!
