The gun he used is not that important, but most anyone would agree hitting a target smaller than a soft ball at that distance with a cap and ball revolver would require some fine marksmanship. Of course, we have no idea what Wild Bill was aiming at (maybe he was aiming at Tutt’s head?).We of course lack evidence—provenanced evidence—but we do have a story from the October 1937 issue of the American Mercury magazine.
