Friendly reception for B.C. quick draw champs in the U.S

In May 2025, five Canadian quick draw competitors from the Thunderbird Fast Draw Club competed in South Dakota amid teasing about Donald Trump's 51st state remarks.
The competitors faced teasing by U.S. shooters due to Trump's comments, but Robinson considered the jokes lighthearted and the trip incident-free.
Shawn Murphy won Men's Top Open, Paula Murphy took Women's Thumbing, and Robinson placed fifth while returning through a friendly Canadian border checkpoint.
At the Canadian border, a young guard asked about Robinson's firearm, to which he replied, “A Ruger single-action sixgun,” prompting admiration and questions about his speed.
The friendly reception and ongoing events like the Aldergrove Fair Fast Draw suggest continued cross-border engagement despite political tensions.
