LEFTY WINCHESTER
The Lefty Winchester "Cowboy Way Award" is presented annually to the Cowboy or Cowgirl who best embodies the qualities and character that Lefty demonstrated throughout his life.
The recipient of this award should be approachable, always ready to lend a hand to a fellow cowboy in need, and offer encouragement to new shooters. They should be hardworking and dedicated to supporting the posse, ensuring that everything runs smoothly. A true representative of the Cowboy Way, this individual understands that while competition is part of the game, it is not the sole reason we participate. They come for the shooting but stay for the camaraderie, always remembering that above all, we are here to have fun.
