There was nothing forced or produced about his skills with firearms.
Butler was lightning-speed out of the holster and snapped his gun casually as he fired on-target like a skilled marksman. The sharp-shooter’s eyes were steadfast as he stared at his targets and loaded each weapon without the slightest hesitation. He looked completely at ease, even when he was clearly moving as quickly as he possibly could.
