Cowboy Quick Shot FAQ

How the quickdraw works, what counts as fast, and everything players actually ask us.

Gameplay

How does Cowboy Quick Shot work?
Hold your iPhone pointed down at your side like a gun in a holster. When the app signals "draw," flip your phone upward. Motion sensors measure the time from signal to movement, in milliseconds.
What is a good reaction time?
Average human visual reaction time is around 250 ms. Regular players score 220–350 ms. Fast players hit 180–200 ms. Below 150 ms usually means you anticipated the signal (counts as a false start).
Why does it say I false-started?
If you move before the draw signal fires, the round is counted as a false start. This is what keeps reaction times honest — you can't game it by anticipating.

Multiplayer

Can I play with friends?
Yes — duel mode for two phones face-to-face, and asynchronous best-time comparison.

Technical

Does it work offline?
Yes. Solo play, duels on the same device, and score history all work offline. You only need an internet connection for optional online leaderboards.
What iOS version do I need?
iOS 15 or later, on any iPhone with Core Motion (iPhone 6s and newer).
Will flipping my phone break it?
No. The motion is a normal arm rotation. Use a case and a secure grip, as with any motion-controlled game.
