In my experience, Colonel, gunfights are won by the feller who takes the time to aim... but it don't hurt none to be quick out'a the gate.

A letter that a famous gunfighter wrote to Samuel Colt. I can't find the reference right now, but I think it was Bat Masterson. I saw the letter (or a facimilie of it) when I visited the Colt museum, and was very interested in what he had to say. Oh, and I'm probably misquoting the actual wording, but the thrust of the mesage is the same.
