The 2-day 2025 WFPG World Championship in Newkirk, Oklahoma is in the books. It was a great one with many "nail-biter" faceoffs. It was also our first sanctioned match to include our new equipment rules, which pretty much mirror the World Fast Draw Association equipment rules. As suspected, from 14' or farther out no gun or holster variations resulted in any advantages or disadvantages and the times registered were 100% the result of the individual shooters' performances, so the first run under those new rules was a total success and we intend to continue with those rules. That concept should have been adopted long ago instead of the sport having stock gun thumbing-only rules and ridiculous totally senseless primadonna holster rules, but nobody apparently had enough nerve to try it until our fearless leader Parttime, aka Dusty Damrel stepped up to the plate and eliminated that insanity, which by the way was definitely not old west period correct. They all shot what they brung and now we do, too.
Anyhow, many thanks to Mike Landis and James Tinsley and their whole crew for providing the venue and targets and backdrop, etc., you're all very much appreciated as usual. Thanks also to Kelly Norvelle aka Kurley Kue for calling commands and handling the entry fee and new membership duties, and to Belinda Green aka Bee Stinger and Jamie Damrel aka Plain Jane for their usual flawless scorekeeping. You're all appreciated for pulling off yet another smooth WFPG competition.
Congrats to the winners of all three classes:
Big Iron: Open Class
Ol' Grouch: Masters Class
Parttime: .300 Invitational Class. Congrats also to Big Iron and Tomcat Charlie for advancing to the Masters Class, and to Marshall Mike for earning his .300 pin and advancing to the .300 Invitational Class. Great shooting!
We enjoyed seeing you all, and happy trails to all till next time...🙂
