Who was the best shot in the wild west?

Answer by  mtown934 (733)

This question is extremely difficult to answer because there were so many excellent shooters in the wild wild west. The legends names never stop coming up and they were all extremely talented individuals. I don't feel right just putting one name out there as the best shot because of all the amazing people back then.

Perhaps the best shot in the wild west was the trick shooter Annie Oakley. I am talking about best in terms of accuracy - in essence, a highly accurate trick shot. Annie was a regular with a traveling wild west show started by Buffalo Bill. Annie travelled with the show for a number of years.

To find out who was the best shot in the wild west we would need to travel back in time to measure the speed of the draw.

Buffalo Bill was the fastest shot in the West. This was due to his inability to stop shooting. He'd shoot you three times before noticing you'd entered the room.
