Picture

Arizona Gunfighters is the brainchild of “Corky” Corkran and Bob and Dale Charnes. Their vision was to use their film and stunt experience to put together a cast of professionals to reenact the stories of the west. Since these humble beginnings began in 1992, the group has grown to about 60 members strong who come from all walks of life.  The common thread of all involved is the love for the action and adventure of our western frontier. As we research the parts and perform the shows, we continue to learn and get a feel for the people who actually lived in that time. ​

What sets the group apart is their drive to be the most authentic and polished performers they can be.  Clothing must accurately represent the clothing of the period.  This dedication has clearly paid off by the number of awards our cast members win at various costume competitions.  In addition, many hours of research go into each show to insure historical accuracy (within the bounds of safety) and the most entertainment value possible.  We strive to be the best. Our relentless pursuit of perfection in our shows has rewarded us with such performances as the pregame show for Super Bowl XXX, Rendezvous of Gunfighters at the OK Corral in Tombstone and countless other civic, corporate and educational events.

The Arizona Gunfighters currently rehearse and perform at no charge to the public at Frontier Town in  Cave Creek, Arizona. Check our schedule for dates and times.

We also perform in Tombstone, AZ for their 'Wyatt Earp Days' and 'Showdown in Tombstone.'

The Arizona Gunfighters will also come and perform at your location for your organization or company.  We will even bring our own town.  For a customized experience back into history., please contact us for further information.

 “When you’re in the audience for an Arizona Gunfighter show you’re seeing how the west was won – word for word – bullet for bullet…And when the gunfire is over and the dust has cleared, the audience is left with the same awe and shock as those who stood in the streets of Tombstone.”

“It was a pleasure for my production staff and me to work with the Arizona Gunfighters in the development of the Super Bowl XXX pregame show…Cited as an outstanding show by the National Football League leadership. Your group was unquestionably the easiest we have ever worked with…Great job!”
