Powhatan Peacemakers, located in beautiful Victoria Virginia, is a sanctioned club of the
Cowboy Fast Draw Association (CFDA) that is headquartered in Fallon Nevada. We are part of the fastest growing western shooting sport in the world. Cowboy Fast Draw has
been featured on several TV shows, especially on the Outdoor Channel.
Cowboy Fast Draw is a shooting
venue that relates back to the time period of 1870 to 1900 where the lore and
legend of the “Gunfighter” was created. All of us grew up with memories of
sitting in front of the TV watching shows like “Gunsmoke”, “Have Gun Will
Travel”, “Rawhide”, and many others. In our sport, we bring that era to life in
a SAFE, exciting, and competitive shooting sport. Two competitors, dressed in
period “Cowboy or Gunfighter” attire will stand “side to side”, facing a 2 foot
steel circle target 15 to 21 feet in front of them. They wait on the
commands….“Shooters Ready, Shooters…. Set!” Then between 2 to 5 seconds, a light
in the middle of the targets will come on simultaneously and the
competitors will draw, cock their single action revolvers, and shoot WAX bullets
at the targets. The shooter that HITS the target, with the fastest time recorded by impact sensors on the targets, wins that shot. They keep doing
this until one of the shooters gets 3 winning hits and is then declared
winner of that round. It is a fun, adrenaline filled shooting sport that is
safe, competitive, and fun!! It is also a venue that teaches safe and proper
gun handling skills in the process.
