This 30-second shootout between lawmen and members of a loosely organized group of outlaws called the Cowboys took place at approx. 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 26, 1881, in Tombstone, Arizona Territory.

The 16th Annual Texas Shootout 16U Divisions are themed after the shootout that occurred on July 21, 1865 in the town square of Springfield, Missouri between Wild Bill Hickok and gambler Davis Tutt. It is one of the few recorded instances in the Old West of a one-on-one quick-draw duel in a public place, in the manner later made iconic by countless novels, dramas, and films and was detailed in an article in Harper's Magazine in 1867, making Hickok a household name and folk hero.
