Howard Darby began his career as a fast & fancy gun handler in 1979 when he acquired a replica Colt Peacemaker. Since the gun was unable to shoot, he started spinning it, often doing so for hours each day. In 1981 Howard learned of a Fast Draw club located in his home town. From the moment he strapped on his first Fast Draw gun, Howard knew he had found a sport that he could sink his teeth into.
Regular focused practise and refinement of techniques has paid off. Howard has won Fast Draw world titles sixteen times, and the World Gun Spinning title six times... more than any other gun spinner. Howard also currently holds the title of WFDA "Fastest Gun Alive" and fifteen world records in the sport of Fast Draw.
