[shadowlands1960]

Here's Wiki on the place name:

According to one local legend, Cut and Shoot was named after a 1912 community confrontation that almost led to violence. According to differing versions of the story, the dispute was over:[6]

The design of a new steeple for the town's only church,
The issue of who should be allowed to preach there,
The conflicting land claims among church members.

Whatever the circumstances were, a small boy at the scene reportedly said he was scared and declared, "I'm going to cut around the corner and shoot through the bushes in a minute!" This statement apparently stayed in the residents' minds and was eventually adopted as the town's name.[7] "Cut and Shoot" has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.[8][9]

Like Two Egg, Florida, Hot Coffee Mississippi, Happy Jack - been through all three of these. I stopped once in Happy Jack AZ for coffee while hitch-hiking from Tacoma WA to Panama City FL and got hot coffee in Hot Coffee just to say I had done that.
