cowboy fast draw

Cowboy fast draw is performed with old-west style single action six-guns in 45 Colt caliber, with special casings allowing a 209 shotgun primer to propel a wax bullet to around 700 feet per second. The targets are of steel and electronically record hits to within 1/1000 of one second.
We offer two styles of fast draw competition:

First is standard fast draw

This is contested, “man on man” at 15 feet on 17 inch round targets A predetermined number of elimination rounds are fired to to determine the participants for a “shoot-off” that will establish the final placements. This number can vary with the number of participants, but is usually seven. These contests are held on the first Sunday of the month.

Second is blocker style fast draw

Blocker fast draw is shot on 20X40 inch targets. There is no “man on man” competition, as each shooters goal is to establish the fastest aggregate score as possible. Each round consists of five shots from distances of six to fifteen feet. A round may be five shots at any given distance, or a variety of shots from multiple pre-determined distances. Missed shots in this “index style” of fast draw are penalized at one second per miss.

A normal match will usually consist of eight index rounds with the total times of each participant determining their final place in the match. This is probably the least stressful of any style of fast draw in in the sport of fast draw.

Final placements are not known until the entire match is completed.

These contests are held on the fourth Saturdays of the month

Shooting Fees are $20
