insane...

i believe he's the same guy that was featured in Stan Lee's SuperHuman... a show on the History Channel...

caught the episode and this guy is lightning fast

Does anybody else find it hard to believe that the first video is fake due to the cameraman standing directly behind the balloons this guy is shooting at?

The guy isn't a fake. Bob Munden has been around for a while. Why they didn't put a high speed camera up close and watch the frames is beyond me, but there you have it.

I have watched his vids before.. truly amazing..

Quick draw artists do not use ammunition with real bullets - they either use blanks or wax bullets. Fast, to me, is someone like Jerry Miculek or Ed McGivern, using real ammo. Not to say that Munden isn't spectacular at what he does, but I don't think he can hold a candle to Jerry or Ed when it comes to sustained, accurate rapid fire with a handgun - revolvers, no less. Miculek is still trying to break McGivern's record (set in 1932) of 5 shots on a playing card, in 2/5's of a second. The McGivern feat that astounds me though was his aerial shot. He was demonstrating his ability to a man by throwing steel washers, with a .5" center hole up in the air and shooting them. When the man pointed out that he had missed, McGivern told him he had simply shot through the middle. To prove it he covered the hole with tape and did it again. When the washer came down, there was a hole, cleanly through the tape. McGivern did his shooting with S&W .38 spl revolvers. Bullet diameter=.357" / hole in the washer=.50" Clearance around the bullet=.0715". Now that is amazing. You may want to check out the book: Fast & Fancy Revolver Shooting by Ed McGivern.

 

Adios,

All of those guys amaze me.

Or the camera was just placed on a tripod.

Bob looks exactly the same in the 80's as he does now.

My bet is Bob wouldnt allow it. If I were him I wouldnt eather. I dont want my prize winning technique picked apart by my competitors.

I dont belive it.

On that Stan Lee show, the accelerometer said Bob's gun was pulling 10 G's on the Draw!

If any of you have the Outdoor Channel, Bob Munden is on Impossible Shots almost every week... does trick shots more than quick draw stuff tho.

He has his own web site, check it out:

Yeah I saw him shoot a balloon at like 500 yards (It might have been more), with a snub nose, off hand.

I have two of his videos - one signed by him and I also talked to him and his wife on the phone. His wife is also a great shooter.

If he was ONLY a Quick-Draw guy, that might be true Bob, but he does a lot of other stuff, WITH full-power ammunition too.

And with a single action revolver , how fast would he be with an autoloader.

Probably slower. The recoil action of the slide moving takes longer than .02 seconds.
