When I was much, much younger I had a Ruger Single Six and a quick draw holster. I was a pretty good shot and liked to Squirrel hunt with it, and had also been practicing my "quick draw". One day a buddy and I were walking along a drainage ditch looking for targets of opportunity. He yelled "theres a snake" and before I even thought, I had drawn and shot it in the head at about 5 yds away. It surprised me more than my buddy, but I acted like it was just the natural thing to do.
