Dead Ringer of a Folk Singer, Humdinger of a Gunslinger

Fairly
Squarely
Rarely
Barely
Shot from the hip fairly, squarely true
Loaded clip but, rarely, barely drew

Wonderful job with your entry. I am trying to think who this might be!! Or are you just teasing with the title? Congrats on the fantastic win.

I was thinking of a mixture of Clint Eastwood and Bob Dylan as the character. Thank you, Andrea.
