Quick-draw and hip-shooting varies from most other activities in that the more proficient the student becomes, the more dangerous the activity becomes. This is because the student learns how to perform a whole series of activities in sequence by conditioned reflex (procedural memory) without conscious thought. Thus, if the student becomes really fast, then if something goes wrong during the draw, such that the student makes a mistake and grabs the gun the wrong way, jamming it up in the holster during the draw, then the student will continue to carry out the sequenced steps of the quick-draw/hip-shooting procedure automatically by conditioned reflex, inexorably pulling the trigger and shooting a hole in his leg before he can consciously stop the draw. If he is quick-drawing and hip-shooting a .44 Magnum revolver loaded with hollow-point bullets, the consequences of such a mistake can easily be deadly.
