The Adventures of Pepper and Paula is the story about Paula, a world champion gunslinger and the star of a live action wild west show. She is on top of the world, but when her world literally comes to a crash in the form of a horrible accident, it is up to her best friend, her dog Pepper, to save her.
Kylie, a new young attractive female cowgirl, joins the cast to help liven up the show. But she's up to no good and it's up to Pepper to run that little filly out of town.
The result is a fun, action packed, heart warming story that the entire family can enjoy. Filmed in 2013 and released in 2015.

Pistol Packin' Paula is not just the girl next door. When Pistol Packin' Paula
gets ready for work, she grabs her nickel plated .45 Cimarrons and her bull whips - not a briefcase. She twirls
and shoots her gun like Annie Oakley. She cracks her bull whips like
Calamity Jane.
Growing up in Connecticut, Paula didn't give much thought to cowgirlin', guns
or horses, but that would soon change...
Being the type of person who sets her sights on something and goes for it,
she first decided to become a stuntwoman. She went to stunt school to
learn high falls, roof rolls, car hits, and saddle falls. She even learned
to be set on fire! It was here that Paula showed interest in the skill that
would change her life. She saw the guys twirling guns and asked them to show
her how to do it. They all told her that it was no use for her to try
because her hands were simply too small to twirl real guns. Never one
to shy away from a challenge, Paula set out to prove them wrong so she
taught herself. And boy, did she ever!
After graduating from stunt school, with
$50 in her pocket, Paula headed west to follow her dream. In 1990, she
landed a job as
a stuntwoman at Rawhide
Western Town in Scottsdale, Arizona.
This is where she began twirling
guns professionally and became Pistol Packin' Paula, western performer. Paula
is the only woman in the U.S. who twirls real guns professionally.
She twirls two .45 Cimarron revolvers and
twirls them into her fancy custom-made holster by Alfonso of
Hollywood. Her one-woman show includes gun
twirling, cracking bullwhips made by Simon Martin and then she caps it off with a foot-stomping wild
west dance that puts a showgirl to shame. She has now expanded her
skills to include her horses Jake and Tonto. Her performances, both
live and on television, have been enjoyed around the world. Paula also
performs around the country portraying Annie Oakley in special events and
Wild West Shows.
In 2005, she packed up her things, including her two horses, Jake and Tonto, and hit the dusty trail to Texas. She set up camp and settled at Enchanted Springs Ranch, an active western movie set & western venue for parties, where she still resides today.
In 2006, Paula drove up the trail to Claremore, Oklahoma to compete for a World Champion Gun Spinning title. Well, low and behold she won her first World Championship presented by WILD WEST ARTS CLUB!
In 2007, Paula drove all the way to Nashville to rescue an Australian Cattle dog who she named Pepper. The bond was instant and life was great for him on the ranch. In 2008, just as her career was starting to blossom, Paula and her dog, Pepper, were in a major roll-over accident that almost ended her career. She endured multiple fractures on her pelvis, ribs and a bruised lung, but to her relief, Pepper was fine.
He was a hero and went for help. After six months of recovery and the help of many friends and fans, she was determined to get on her feet and perform again.
In 2008 thru 2018 Paula performed at Enchanted Springs Ranch, an active western movie set/western venue for parties, in Boerne, Texas. In between those years she accomplished several things. In 2009, Paula got back in the saddle and headed to Las Vegas to compete for another World Champion Gun Spinner title. All though there was stiff competition, she won her second world championship and was presented with an award by the Wild West Performing
Arts Society! She is the first and the only woman to win this title. Her goal now is to help children develop self-esteem, encourage them to deal with everyday challenges and most of all, follow their dreams. Paula's philosophy is simple; "The only way to succeed, is to keep on trying; you never know what is possible."
In 2011 she came out with her first book which was a coloring book too called "GIDDY-UPPP with Paula" then in 2013 she filmed her "first" movie "The Adventures of Pepper and Paula" base on your real life story at the Ranch which came out in 2015. Paula keeps on going following her dreams and goals because now she is trying to create her own children's variety show, so watch out!
Paula has successfully made a living as a western performer and has performed for many legends like David Carradine, Louise Mandrell, Melissa Gilbert, Tony Robbins, Henry Thomas, Howard Stern, Brian Howe "Bad Company", and Cedric The Entertainer and other performers around the world.
For many years, Paula has been asked to share tips about her gun handling.
So she decided to make her own video teaching people how to gun twirl which can
be ordered on this website,
"Gun Twirling for Beginners".

It helped me with some of the medical bills plus I was finally able to put a down payment on a safe new truck for us. So, thanks again from the bottom of our hearts!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL! Happy Twirlin'!
