Canadian Fast Draw Championships

  • Prime Sponsor: Township of Langley

    • Shooters from all over Canada and the U.S.A. will be coming to test their skills. Two Aldergrove residents are current world champions, so this really will be an opportunity to cheer on the home team.

  • The host of the Canadian Fast Draw Championships this year is the Thunderbird Fast Draw Club, which is based at the Langley Rod and Gun Club on 208 Street in Langley, BC. The Thunderbirds are the oldest continually operating Fast Draw Club in the sport today, having performed shows and contests since they formed in the winter of 1958.
  • The Thunderbird club has been host to almost half of all the Canadian Championsip contests ever held in the country and look forward to bringing the contest to Aldergrove this year. The last 8 Canadian Chamionships have been held in Alberta. The World Fast Draw Association, based in the US, has been sanctioning these events since the merging of the Mid-Western Fast Draw Associtation and the Western Fast Draw Association into WFDA, the main governing body for FAst Draw, which takes place in such countries as Scotland, Germany and Japan to name a few.

    Fast Draw is a 'nervous' sport, requiring great concentration, good reactions, and a love for the 'old west' style of dress and shooting. Fast Draw is billed as 'The Fastest Sport In The World' with some times taking much less than 1/2 of one second! We trust you will enjoy attending this latest event as well as our 'Celebrity Shootout' which will involve several local VIP's.

    • The event will be located in the Fast Draw Range from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm for both Saturday and Sunday. This is the first chance to see, in action, World Class Fast Draw competitors such as Aldergrove's own Nicole Franks, who has been the Women's WFDA All-Around Champ for the last 7 years. Shoot starts Saturday at 10 a.m."

    Prime sponsor: Aldergrove Kinsmen

    Last year’s fireworks were a major highlight. It was our first year to have music as well as the grassy banks to lie back on and watch the fireworks silhouetted against the countryside like rifts in the fabric of heaven (well that’s what one of the enthusiastic watchers said last year!)
