Modern gun slingers compete at fast draw action Men, women and children, including large numbers of shooters from Canada and around the United States, are all fascinated by the fast-draw competition, with its roots in the world of movie westerns, as they compete for trophies and cash prizes in different cate gories. Fast draw features two sep arate events; the first is a head- to-head shootout with a balloon target, with two shooters, vying for the best of ten rounds in both speed and accuracy. Bul lets are not used in this event. The target balloons are burst by excess powder in the car tridge. In the second competition, contestants use 45 caliber am munition with a shotgun primer and a bullet made of wax. Shooters compete individually, with targets that are 20 inches wide and 40 inches high, firing from distances of five, eight, 10, 12, and 15 feet. Speed, agility and accuracy are needed by successful con testants in the Fast Draw competition. Contests are measured by a digital timer which reads the action to 275/1000 of a second. The weapons used in these events are usually Colt 45s or Ruger .357s bored to 45 cal ibers. The shootout will begin Sat urday, August 4, at 10:30 a.m. in Hawkins Park.
