The smoke is a rising on the horizon and gun oil is in the air. The Cowboy Fast Draw Club, “.45 SideKicks” of the First Baptist Church of Lady Lake hosted a bunch of cowboys and cowgirls in January for a Snow Bird Shoot Out. This year’s tournament marks not only the 3-year anniversary of the club’s creation. But also highlights a unique way that the Church outreach program’s shows the community that God’s family does more than just get together on Sundays!!
Shooting started at 9 am, ended at roughly 1pm each day and the public is welcome. A spectator will see participants dressed in cowboy and cowgirl garb from the 1880’s era while they compete in head-to-head duels. Each gun fighter attempting to draw and fire their single action .45 caliber pistols faster than a real-life adversary. For more information about the sport which has clubs across the United States. Check out the Cowboy Fast Draw Association website at www.Cowboyfastdraw.com
