The following is a sample list of some current World Fast Draw Association records. These records reflect the speeds that can be achieved by a skilled competitor drawing and firing a single-action revolver. It should be remembered that the shooter can not touch his gun or holster prior to the signal light coming on, and that all times include the shooter's reaction time to the random light signal. Records are compiled in the following categories:
- Men / Women
- Elimination / Index (total score) competitions
- Open / Traditional style competitions
- Single shot / Event totals (3 rounds for double target events, 5 shots for all others)
* - Event totals are 5 shots for all events, except for doubles which is 3 rounds. World Record Examples
