The first shot can be about as fast as a DA revolver. The second is likely to be slower, but more carefully aimed.
One thing few moderns realize is the old coal burner’s bullets were SLOW. Like BB’s from the old Red Ryder’s many grew up with, you could actually see your bullet in flight.
Yes, it took a lot of practice to put a bullet through the hole in a thrown washer, but the hole in the postage stamp pasted over the hole was proof of accuracy. And the shooter could actually see where his misses went.
In the days when powder was as available as garden seed, and usually cheaper than seed, a great many youngsters had a reason and the means to practice, and practice, and practice. Not all were boys.
Phoebe Ann Mosey was just one of many young ladies who enjoyed shooting. Although Miss Mosey’s natural talents took her beyond the garden pest extermination stage.
