The World's Fastest Professional Gunfighters was established in 2016 to provide shooters in the sport of cowboy style fast draw a rare opportunity to compete against like-minded opponents with a common goal of progressing in speed and accuracy.

Our motto is, "Let your toughest opponent be YOUR FASTEST SHOT, not your opponent".

This means improving ones performance in any true sport is a greater accomplishment than just winning. This motivation is driven by our "INDIVIDUAL SPEED INDEX" or "ISI" which pushes each shooter to maintain a level of competitiveness within their ability. The ISI prevents a faster shooter from slowing down to beat a slower shooter. It also prevents a slower shooter from waiting on a faster shooter to miss before attempting a shot. This is known as "Sand Bagging" and it is not considered to be in the spirit of competition, nor is it welcome in the WFPG.

When it comes to winning, The WFPG has THREE shooting classes/divisions. The Open Division, the Master Class and the .300 Invitational Class. These classes/divisions allow shooters to compete against other shooters of comparable ability. This equals MORE awards, MORE Champions and MORE opportunities to win.

We dress in cowboy apparel ranging from 1880's period to modern rodeo attire. Our firearms are single action .45 Long Colt revolvers with no external modifications staying true to authenticity. Internal work such as polishing and lighter springs are allowed. Our gun belts also hold true to the period with the Mexican Loop style holster in minimal cant with no steel liners. Rawhide liners are allowed. We shoot strictly thumbing style draw, no fanning or twisting. Our projectiles are wax bullets with a .209 shotgun primer for propellant. No gunpowder. We shoot at 20 inch X 40 inch (BLOCKER) steel targets from a 14 foot distance. This distance and target size was chosen for optimal speed competition. Although still very possible to miss, it allows bouts to be decided more often by the fastest hit rather than a hit and a miss. We want shooters to hit the target. A bout is won by the first shooter to get three fastest qualifying hits. An electronic timing system and target sensors determine the outcome of each bout.

The personal goals of our shooters include: new best personal times, improving fastest time averages and earning a .300 pin. The .300 pin is the most coveted award in the sport of fast draw. It is a goal achievable but not easy to obtain. We hope to see many .300 pins presented in the future of our organization. We are all about the sport of "FAST" draw.
