On July 21, 1865, in the town square of Springfield, Missouri, James Butler Hickok ("Wild Bill") met and killed Davis Tutt in a "quick draw duel" –the first of its kind. Fiction later popularized Hickok's "quick draw gunfight" as typical, but Hickok's is the first one on record to fit the portrayal. During the duel, rather than the face-to-face fast-draw as is commonly shown in movies, the two men faced each other sideways in the historic dueling stance, drawing and aiming their weapons before firing.

Throughout her career, it is believed that Phoebe Ann Moses ("Annie Oakley") taught upwards of 15,000 women how to use a gun.

She said: "I would like to see every woman know how to handle [firearms] as naturally as they know how to handle babies."
