Think
you're a fast draw? Your time will tell ....
(Legend
has it an unnamed person in the Los Banos based Golden State Gunslinger's fast draw
club readies for her/his day by checking their reaction time! This is serious
fun ... Cowboy up:)
Reaction Time Trainer
A
different reaction test
(be alert or these
little critters will fake you out)
The
Old West Shoot Em Up
(thankfully we'll
be shooting at targets!)
The
Wild Wild West Action Game
(interesting,
entertaining)
Cowboy
Bullet Game
(I think the is the hardest
game of all)
Real
Cowboy Fast Draw is a reaction test.

Remember,
adults can enter the Lefty Manzanedo Memorial
Celebrity Shootout or the Golden
State Gunslinger's (Los Banos Fast Draw Club) Gunslinger
Alley as many times as you can afford:) Both benefit local charity and both
are reasonably priced. Gunslinger Alley is $5.00 for ten shots (empty the gun
twice); the Celebrity Shootout (competing
for trophies and prizes) costs $10 for the local celeb and $5 for the pro, enter
with as many local celebrities or pros as you can afford. $10 gets you 5 shots
(empty the gun once). At the end of the day it's the fastest time for 10 shots
that wins the big prize and distinction of being Best of the West Celebrity Shooter.
Two local celebs have a chance of winning this event!
It's
captivating and addictive like a video game. You may be shooting at the same time
as others (even competing for cash, prizes, and bragging rights); however in reality,
you're competing against yourself. You just know you can get a faster time ...
just one more try ... although one more try usually means load the gun one more
time... with five (not one) wax bullets.
See
what I mean? Captivating and addictive....and ever so fun!

Life
in the Wild West was tough. Most everything required
lots of hard work, pretty much from sun up to
sun down. There weren't a lot of laughs in
riding herd, farming or even homemaking.
