Thell Reed
One of the unspoken facts about the sport of Fast Draw is that it’s true roots are in the combat sports. Preceding the wax bullets and blanks ammo we use today Single Action Fast Draw was practiced using live ammo in combat matches dominated by shooters using double action and semi auto handguns. Many of the founding members of the sport we know today came from that group of pioneering gunfighters who had the audacity to step up to the line with the best combat shooters in the world shooting live ammo from the hip with a single action revolver. Thell Reed was one of those men.
