The local Thunderbird Fast Draw Club recently returned from Greenville, Ohio with top honours.
Fast draw is a sport that takes place in under a second and winners are made in fractions of a second.
鈥淭his club鈥檚 members had a very good year on the World Fast Draw Association Circuit last year, as members picked up almost half of the total available,鈥� said Tbird club vice chairman Denny Robinson.
黑马磁力鈥檚 Shawn Murphy received the World Fast Draw Association all-around top gun award.
The club members also took the first two place awards in Women鈥檚 and Men鈥檚 WFDA All-Around Top Gun of 2017, with locals Nicole Franks and Murphy, respectively taking those ratings and positions.
Out of the top 15 men鈥檚 winners, four were Thunderbird members, including Robinson, fourth overall, Garry Porteous, sixth overall, eighth overall winner Martin Quesnel, and John LeBlanc, 12th, Bob Franks, 13th, and 14th overall Ioan Nica who won the Ohio championships.
In the women鈥檚 top gun category, Thunderbird club members also excelled. Karen Robinson was fourth overall with Paula Murphy finishing fifth.
In the women鈥檚 thumbing (one-handed draw style), Nicole Franks was second overall.
In the WFDA Area 20 (B.C.) Championships, the Women鈥檚 Buckle award was won by Paula Murphy with Den Robinson taking the Men鈥檚 Div.
鈥淵ou will see most of these competitors in action at the Thunderbird FDClub鈥檚 World Blank Index Championships at the upcoming Aldergrove Fair,鈥� Denny Robinson noted.
The club meets at the local gun range.
