This vide seems unreal to me as it is so fast. Does anyone know anything about this guy? I think of Jerry Miculek when fast shooting is mentioned.

That is impressive.

From Wikipedia

Bob Munden (born February 8 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_8), 1942 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1942), Kansas City, Missouri (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_City,_Missouri)[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Munden_%28shooter%29#cite_note-0)) is a Fast Draw (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Draw) competition shooter who now undertakes fast draw exhibition shooting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhibition_shooting). Bob Munden holds many fast draw world records and is recognized in the Guinness Book of Records (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinness_World_Records) as the fastest gun ever.
In addition to competition, Bob Munden has achieved several extraordinary feats of shooting, including hitting coins thrown into the air and splitting playing cards thrown into the air, all on demand. Much fast draw shooting takes place with blank ammunition but Bob Munden has achieved several feats with regular ammunition loaded to full power. For example, as a demonstration, Bob Munden competed in Bianchi Cup (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bianchi_Cup_Pistol_Tournament&action=edit&redlink=1) match and finished in the money using a Colt Single Action (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Action_Army) and full power ammunition.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Munden_%28shooter%29#cite_note-bm-1)
Bob Munden started his shooting career when he competed in Jeff Cooper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Cooper_%28colonel%29)'s Big Bear "Leatherslaps" shooting competitions at Big Bear Lake, California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bear_Lake,_California) in the 1950s. The Leatherslaps became the South Western Combat Pistol League (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South_Western_Combat_Pistol_League&action=edit&redlink=1) (SWCPL). His shooting prowess showed early when he came second in 1958 using a Colt .45 Single Action borrowed from Jeff Cooper.
Since taking up exhibition shooting, Bob Munden has given many demonstrations to audiences, sometimes with John Satterwhite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Satterwhite_%28sport_shooter%29). Bob Munden has also given shooting demonstrations on television shows the world over.

That had me going valley girl...

"Uh....MAH....Gyawd"

wow.

My wife leaned over me and said I was quicker than him with my own gun....but he's way out of my league with his pistol skills.

So tonight the electric zap mats for dogs that keep them off the couch will be silently placed on the floor on her side of the bed and turned up to full spark. "MORNING BABE!" friggin broad....

My second cousin was a promoter for this guy back in '73 or '74. I spent that summer with my relatives in Baltimore Ohio. My cousin Bert had tons of press packages, posters, photos and stuff on this guy. Munden could fire three shots and holster the gun just as fast as the single shot seen in the video. I as I recall, his quick draw guns were actually .44 cal. and they were single action. The three shot quick draw involved cocking the revolver as it was drawn from the holster with the web of the thumb, cocking it on the pistol belt for the second shot and fanning the third. He would also shoot Bayer asprins at fifteen feet, rapid fire, from the hip, with a Daisy BB gun:eek:
