Did anyone see him last night (7/11) shooting balloons at 200 yards?
Incredible stuff to me. Heck, I couldn't SEE a balloon at 200 yards!
1st He used a S&W 44 mag. Looked like about an 8 3/8 barrel, 240 grn JHP Federals.
The next one just blew me away. S&W 38 spl model 60. Looked like about a 3 inch barrel, 158 grn SWC Federals, 10-15 mph crosswind. WOW, just WOW! :o

Rerun, saw it both times. I always wonder just how many shots he actually takes before he gets the one we all see. Video editing is a wonderful tool.

The time that Bob Munden was doing stunts with a derringer, he showed at the end that he went through a .50 cal ammo can full of .45 Colt to accomplish his final performance. His hands were black from the powder fouling!
Still damn good shootin'!

He was the first guy to hit that light switch for me that pistols could be shot for distance off hand. If that guy could do it why in the heck cant I sorta thing, if you know what i mean? Next thing you know 50-100 yard shots with 1911 is common/easy to do. 200+ with the big cals. at about 50% hit rate. Although I do not get to pratice the 200+ often so thats why the smaller %. Never mind the balloon at that distance the steel plate is almost impossible to see.That Man is COOL in any book.

The thing that impresses me the most about Bob is the quick draw. SMOKES! is he fast or what! Here is another example of the long handgun shot. A little specialized but impressive non the less.

Just an opinion here but ol' Bobs fast draw is way more imp;ressive. But if you blink he has drawn, fired, and reholstered..........everytime with full powerfactor loads. Not them sissy loaded-down grammpy loads. :o

According to Mr. Scoutten in his new thread (on that other board, the one Mr. Bane was invited off of) Bob did it on the first shot. It's back a couple of months ago when the show had it's first run.
What I would have liked to have seen is how many times Bob could hit it in 5 consecutive shots.

Once again, If any of you seen that Mythbusters episode that had something to do with fastdraw and they disproved the myth. Welll now, they didnt have Bob! so myth on until he proves different.

I did not see it last night, but I have seen it before. It is amazing! And Munden is the fastest fella I ever seen with a single action too. He can shoot 3 shots and you can't hear but one go off. Blows my mind.
-
Ya know.............With the 38 he didn't really hit that balloon. He hit the steel low. I hate to even mention it. It was an excellent shot just hitting the plate. With the 44 he hit left but the elevation was excellent. Couldn't tell if he hit the balloon or not with the camera off to the right.
-
I always loved watching him. He makes some really good shots. But 200 yards with a 7 or 8 inch barreled .44 Mag isn't THAT hard. That .38 Shot was REALLY something.
-
I watched that show again this morning and noticed at the end of Bob's great snubby shot that his thumb was completely covered in residue and was jet black....I think that 200 yard J-frame accomplishment took quite a few tries.....but still pretty amazing as I wouldn't even be able to see the balloon at that distance.
Yesterday, just out of curiosity at the range, I tried a cylinder full of .38+P at 50 yards on an 8"X11" target out of my 1 7/8" Model 60. I was pretty amazed that I got all 5 shots on the paper. A credit to how inherently accurate the S&W J frames really are.

This morning aat a park, my dad, a friend and I saw a bobcat running across the field at maybe 70 or 80 yards away. My dad looked at me and said "I don't think that Snub Nosed .357 will make that shot." I told him "yeah it will." I didn't fire, or even draw, because the bobcat was gone real soon after I saw him, and I had other stuff to do besides skin a bobcat. And I don't get to practise enough at that range to make it in one shot.
