Recreating the Famous Holster Rigs of ‘Shane’ & ‘Have Gun, Will Travel’

By Bob Arganbright

David Livingston has been a friend and fellow Fast Draw shooter for many years. He is a former chairman of the World Fast Draw Association (WFDA). Also, he hosted the World Championship shoot for five or six years at the Durago, Colorado, Train Depot. I used one of these shooting events as an excuse to travel by narrow-gauge train to Silverton with my wife, Kay, and it was a beautiful ride. I highly recommend it.
