The Heart.

We made it for the moments before the moment.

Reaction time isn't reflex. It's the silence that comes just before. The world narrowing to a single point. The breath you don't take. Cowboy Quick Shot is built for that pause — and the heartbeat that ends it.

No ads. No tracking. No leaderboard you have to log into. Just a holster, a call, and a number you'll either be proud of or want to beat. Made in 2025 by two people who watched too much Sergio Leone.

Honest Answers.

Things folks ask the sheriff.

What's a good reaction time?

Visual reaction time averages around 250 ms. Above 350 ms is rookie range, 220–250 ms is solid, and anything under 200 ms is elite. The world record for a simple visual response is somewhere between 100–120 ms — that's the floor of human possibility.

Will the motion damage my phone?

No. The flip motion is a regular arm rotation. We strongly suggest a case and a wrist strap if you have one, but no different than any other motion-controlled game on iPhone.

Does it require internet?

No. Practice and pass-and-play tournament modes work fully offline. Showdown (head-to-head) uses local wireless — same Wi-Fi network, no public internet needed.

Is it free? What about ads?

The base game is free with zero ads. There's an optional one-time unlock for hosting unlimited multiplayer rooms and a couple of cosmetic revolver skins. No subscriptions, ever.
