Ownership/History
In 1997, Jerry Woods, already an accomplished stunt man, heard that Trail Dust Town was interested in adding a gunfight show to their already very popular steakhouse (Pinnacle Peak). With years of experience in stunt shows, Jerry knew that he could offer something that no one else could offer. In the space of a couple of days, Jerry and 2 friends wrote and choreographed a show ("Killer Miller") to audition in front of the "powers that be" at Trail Dust Town. The show was a hit, and the "Dragoon Street Players" of Dragoon Street were born. Since 1997, over 200 performers from all different backgrounds have performed for the wild west stunt show. As the troupe became more well known, and requests came in to perform all over town, the group decided to change their name to the "Pinnacle Peak Pistoleros", in honor of their benefactors, Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse.
Unfortunately, in March 2020, after 23 years of shows, the CoViD-19 pandemic forced the parent company to close the show permanently. This devastated the Woods family, as they had been blessed to make the show their life's work and mission. So, not willing to admit defeat, Jerry, and his wife Heather, decided to form their own company in order to continue the shows at Trail Dust Town. With the support of family and fans, the "Pistoleros Wild West Show" was born...again! The over the top stunts, fight scenes, and comic timing of the shows that has brought back audiences (and performers) again and again, has returned. And, 26 years later, Jerry Woods is still writing, directing, producing, and appearing in shows every week with his wife and two sons! Shows that feature high-falls, gunfights, explosions, clean slap-stick comedy, and high impact fight choreography. Fun for all ages...it's sure to be a blast!
The show has lost a lot, but we are extremely grateful to Trail Dust Town for allowing us to lease the set in order to continue our shows. We are also eternally thankful for the love and support of our family, church, friends and fans, without which we would not have been able to continue. We commit to you our heart for continuing to provide first-class, family-friendly and redeeming stories with lots of action and comedy!
