Comic western featuring a lucky gunfighter

[icestation2]

A b&w western where the lead character seems to be able to shoot anyone even when not looking. One scene has him tied to a wagon wheel but still manages to shoot a rifle somehow.

Could you perchance be thinking of Bob Hope in "Son of Paleface" (not b&w unless you saw it on a very old tv set.) where he is tied to a barbers chair and spinning round but still manages to shoot an indian with his rifle through the ceiling.

Sounds like Along Cames Jones with Gary Cooper.

Hi,
In addition to what has been said. I cannot recall the full details, but there are three Bob Hope westerns. One has been mentioned, the other is the prequal ''Paleface'' and a film called ''Alias Jesse James''. There are some comical shootings in that. But they are in colour. However, as I write, I have a feeling there might be something like this in the film ''My Chickadee'' with W. C. Fields and Mae West. But I could be wrong.

I think I must bow to Batman on this one, and I think the rifle shooting bit comes at the climax. Thwarted on another Western film question !!!!!!!
