I have to throw something in here... I have dissected a couple dozen gunsmoke picnics and even attended a couple. 'Split Times' never mattered a whit in any of them. The first good solid hits decide them. Hesitation, poor marksmanship, complacency, going to rifle/shotgun fights with handguns, ricochets and plain old bad luck are what have gotten good men killed or crippled.
