COSTUME CONTESTS
We've come a long way since the first couple of years of END of TRAIL. It was easy picking the costume contest winners then. They were the only people not wearing blue jeans!

Costuming is a major factor in maintaining END of TRAIL's uniqueness as a shooting competition. Without all of the great looking folks in great looking period costumes, we'd be just another shooting match using funny guns and silly targets.

Our costuming creates both the environment and shared attitude that set the tone for camaraderie unequaled in other shooting events. In appreciation of your efforts in this regard, our costume winners have consistently shared honors with our shooters.

This year celebrates the 27th Anniversary of the first END of TRAIL. To honor this Anniversary, there will be a special Classic Western Movie Costume category in the Saturday night Best Dressed Costume Contest open to all costume entrants. Costumes should reflect the “Classic Western Movie” theme.

A few changes and updates have been made to the costume contests, so here’s information you need in order to participate.
