I was watching "Wild West Tech". You know, the show with David Caradine as the host. Yeah, How would you like to be remembered the way he died?? But I digress..
They were talking about the usual, old West shootouts. They said absolutely no one shot with two hands. The tradition of dueling was still carried over. At least through the cap & ball era. Maybe it changed when the 1873 Peace Maker was introduced?
Does anyone know how much truth there is to this? I have been actively attempting to NOT shoot my ROA with two hands. It is a habit that is extremely difficult to break. I'm a results oriented shooter and going from 2" groups at 25 yards, shooting two handed from the bench, to...uh...larger groups, is very disheartening and I'm not even shooting drunk, like almost all the documented gunfights.
