Nestled in the lush Lahontan Valley is the small farming community of Fallon, Nevada. Each year, the town welcomes some of the fastest hands, not just in the west, but from around the world! Come join in the fun at the annual World Championship of the Cowboy Fast Draw to see who’s got the fastest gun alive.
Each year, the “Oasis of Nevada” is transformed into the wild west, though, not nearly as wild. More than 250 competing professionals and hobbyists gather to celebrate the sport of the fastest draw.
Those who aren't competing can try their skills out and see how fast they can draw a gun. Wax bullets are used in these instances to ensure safety is the number one priority at this event.
The family-friendly competition occurs during fall each year in Fallon, Nevada. Join professional gun slingers in their aim to win the top awards internationally for the fastest gun.
The current men’s record for the fastest gun has yet to be broken since 2018!
