Message   Roger Nelson    All   Gunfighter tips   January 16, 2016
 8:20 AM *  

A young cowboy, sitting in a saloon one Saturday night, recognized an elderly
man standing at the bar, who, in his day, had been the fastest gun in the West.
 
The cowboy walked over to the old-timer, bought him a drink and told him of his
 ambition to be a great gunfighter.
 
"Could you give me some tips?" he asked.
 
The old man said, "Well, for one thing, you're wearing your gun too high -- tie
 the holster a little lower down on your leg."
 
"Will that make me a better gunfighter?"
 
"Sure will."
 
The young man did as he was told, then stood up, whipped out his .44, and shot
the bow tie off the piano player.
 
"That's terrific!" exclaimed the cowboy. "Got any more tips?"
 
"Yep," said the old man. "Cut a notch out of your holster where the hammer hits
 it -- that'll give you a smoother draw."
 
"Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the young man.
 
"You bet it will," said the old-timer.
 
The young man took out his knife, cut the notch, stood up, drew his gun in a
blur, and then shot a cuff link off the piano player. "Wow!" said the cowboy
excitedly, "I'm learnin' somethin' here. Got any more tips?"
 
The old man pointed to a large can in a corner of the saloon. "See that can of
axle grease over there? Coat your gun with it."
 
The young man smeared some of the grease on the barrel of his gun. "No," said
the old-timer, "I mean smear it all over the gun, the handle, and all."
 
"Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the puzzled young man.
 
"No," said the old-timer, "but when Wyatt Earp gets done playing the piano,
he's gonna shove that gun up your arse, and it won't hurt near as much."
 
 
Regards,
 
Roger
