Was watching History channel and Superhuman came on. I was quite surprised that they had Bob Munden on the show. the world's quickest draw. I must say I never really paid much attention, but damn.... he is good.

 

Although i must say... watching it on the high speed cameras... his finger is on the trigger before the gun is even out of the holster.... not sooo safe. =) yes yes, I'm hatin. =)

 

Edit: holy my, they just showed him doing 2 shots.... under .10 of a second total, draw to firing two shots on target, 6 ft apart.

that show is pretty amazing in general...

I wonder how Jerry Miculek would do against Bob Munden in a shoot off. Both are phenomenal shooters with a wheelgun.

They keep playing re-runs, but that monkey guy is pretty sick too!

Two different schools of shooting.

 

Jerry would whoop Bob in Jerry's realm, and Bob would whoop Jerry in Bob's realm.

Any of you people ever heard of Ed McGivern?

Of course. One of the fastest handgunners who ever lived and a pioneer in handgun shooting technique. FWIW, Jerry has broken some of Ed's records but in all fairness he did it at a younger age using more modern equipment.

Some, but Ed still owns quite a few, and when you consider the equipment of the era, it is even more amazing. Ed's most famous stunt was 5 shots on a playing card in 2/5ths of a second. But my favorite was the aerial shot with the washers. He was challenged to throw a washer in the air and shoot it. He threw one up and shot and seemingly missed. His challenger laughed and Ed insisted he had shot the washer, but the bullet had passed through the center. Ed used .38's for all his trick shooting and these washers had a .500" hole in them. He said he'd prove it to the guy, so he took a piece of tape and covered the hole. Threw it up, shot - again it appeared as though he'd missed. His challenger was razzing him until they picked-up the washer and found a .357" hole through the tape covering the .500" hole.

 

Not sure if it is still in print, but for those of you that like stuff like this, Ed McGivern wrote a book called Fast & Fancy Revolver Shooting, worth the read.

 

Adios,

I've seen this before. The guy is kind of a douche.

Kind of a douche? No, complete and utter douche.

Or to keep with the German theme of the video... Uber Douche!

I saw this the other night.. Very Cool. That Swedish dude that could sit in extreme heat was also pretty cool.
