Draw!
Nick "The Quick" Nica of Montreal, Quebec, draws and fires his single action revolver
The present-day Canadian Open Fast Draw Championships was born from the Hollywood myth of the western gunfighter, and the idea is to draw a single action revolver from a holster, cock, fire and hit a designated target in the shortest possible time. No live ammunition is ever used, only blank cartridges or wax bullets. The targets are either a metal silhouettes hit with wax bullets or balloons that burst from the muzzle blast from blank cartridges. A light atop the timer signals the competitor when to fire and, once the target is hit, it turns the timer off, measuring the speed to thousandths of a second.
