Fast Draw Information

World Fast Draw Association WFDA logo

To Govern, Preserve and Promote the sport of Fast Draw

The following "Hall of Champions" list was compiled by former WFDA Secretary, Ron Bright, who spent many hours checking back through hundreds of publications from the Mid-Western Fast Draw Association, The Western Fast Draw Association, The W.F.D.A. and many other sources. It is an attempt to record the Champions of the Sport of Fast Draw in those organizations. This list may not be complete but it is a place to start. It is not possible to list all winners of all contests, so we have only included Chairman Sanctioned State Championships, Regional, National, World and All-Around World Championships. Enjoy!
