It would be hard to believe that this guy actually existed in real life if we didn't have videos of his incredible skill and speed unmatched by any other human...

The confidence and charisma in this man! RIP Bob, you were simply the best there ever was. A true and natural showman. As they say; “They don’t make em like this anymore.”

I'm sorry to hear Bob has passed. I loved his arrogance and confidence because he could back every bit of it up!

200 yards with any six shooter is impressive. The fact that he also did it with a 38 snubnose is ridiculous....

I dont care if he didn't hit that baloon directly, if you've ever used an open sight on a target that far even the plate would be covered completely by the sight post. This is phenomenal.

He was in a class by himself. Talked to him once on the phone. Great guy.

i witnessed this man in person in the 70s at Polson Montana at a grand opening show at a car dealership and he was for real,,no tricks, he was amazing , I thank my mom for taking me there , i will never forget it.

Bob Munden was one of a kind...RIP Bob

I miss Bob Munden, he was quite a character.

The man was a freak of nature. Just unreal. And loved his dear wife. Gets no better than that

He was a remarkable man, had the pleasure of watching him entertain folks many years ago. Rest in peace Mr. Bob Munden.

He always made it look easy. No fist pumps or dancing around like a child. Just a class man.

Would have done anything to meet Bob. Seemed like such a character and a great showman.

God bless Ol Bob, he was an authentic talent and a good man, we miss you Bob

RIP Bob, your ability never ceased to amaze me and has pushed me to hone my own skills.

Some of Bob's other videos have no comment!!!!! You need to open it up To comments!!!!!! This man is a legend and needs to be known!!!!!!!

I saw Bob years ago in Louisiana at a show. He fired two shots from an old thumb buster(Single action Army .45colt) faster than I can shoot a semiautomatic pistol. Crazy fast 😳❤️☘️

Please upload old American Shooter episodes. I would make popcorn and relive what made me fall in love with the shooting sports as a kid.

I'm falling down the rabbit hole today, watching Bob's videos... Easy to see the guy was an absolute natural with guns. I wonder if he could do the same type of incredible distance shots, but with an actual sniper rifle... His timing, delivery, sense of humor & natural showmanship always make for great clips. I particularly like the ones where he's a little more boastful/bragging, than he typically is... Some of the stuff he says is so damn good!😂😂😂 RIP LEGEND🙏🏼

Used to always watch him as a kid. His shooting is too awesome!

Bob was the best and a legend in my book..he inspired me to shoot.

I was lucky to have met him and very lucky to have been given a few handgun lessons from him. Thank you Bob.

Bob was the man. Made it look easy. RIP Mr. Munden

He was impossible! Love watching his confidence and style. Never be another one like hin. 💙🇺🇸

Reminds me of the good olde days with my husband . We were great shooters but we were never as good as you ! You’re totally AWESOME ! 👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bob is a legend!!

He has always amazed me. We lost a great one with his passing.

Bob was the best and still is. RIP

I used to love watching this show on Saturday with my dad.

I am impressed with the 38. And have pulled off the 200yard shot a few times with my Black Hawk 44 Mag. But have never tried with 38 Police Spacial. Now I just got to go out to the range.😊

he really is a legend! he is not only the fastest, but also the best in precision. just incredible what he was able to do with guns.

I miss Bob Munden. He was a truly wonderful character !

Bob Munden's number one fan will always be Bob Munden.

Missed the balloon with both shots but just hitting the metal plate is amazing.

Bob Munden was an incredible shot, showman and good person as well as "the fastest man that ever lived" God rest your soul my brother 🙏❤️😎👍

While I can't take away from Bob's abilities, because he's a far better shot than I will ever be, he actually missed the balloon both times. The first shot was slightly to the left, and the second shot was about 8" below the balloon. Both times, the shrapnel from the impact popped the balloon, but he did hit the plate, which is exceptional, even more so with the snub nose.

Obviously, I'm a Smith guy and Bob's incredible skill with a revolver is a testament to how well S&W can build a fine handgun.

I always loved Bob’s humble understated manner!

Legendary..RIP!. Luckily Jerry M. is still around... Demonstrating the fine tools of Smith and Wesson. 🇺🇸

i seen him just once at a gun show in raleigh, nc. around 1996 i think. he had a little table setup and a kinda meet and greet sort of area; he had a rifle case with, i donno, maybe 5-6 revolvers, i was eyeballing them. he must have noticed and said, "go ahead, pick one up if you'd like" i kindly no, but thank you. he said his name was Bob, i said my name was Edward, and he shook my hand. i was in my late 30's and was instantly star struck. but when he did some quick draw exhibition, i just could not belive how fast he was. he was the real deal McCoy. what a heck'va life he must have lived.

Those shots were fantastic!!!

A true class act and a gentleman! He was amazing!

Miss you Bob… you we’re ‘The Best’!

Both shots actually missed the balloons. It was the spray of the lead that broke them. That being said, both were good shots on a steel plate at 200 yards. I've done it several times with my 45 Colt Single Action using black powder full load ammo.

The late great Bob Munden,never ceases to amaze with a gun!RIP,fastest gun that ever lived!

You Sir are incredibly talented great shooting

Definitely one of the all time greats.

At my best with a LOT of practice, I shot 25 X-rings at 25 yards. Bob could have done that all day. The shots he made were unreal.

Only stumbled upon this. Absolutely amazing

Awesome , the man is a wizard , I couldn't do that at ten yards on an indoor range !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saw that when first presented on American Shooter. Got to meet him at a SASS End of Trail. Great guy.

Such an amazing Legend

Absolutely amazing.

Bob's the best shot who ever lived. A true real life big shot.

Certified Legend and badass

I saw this guy doing quick draws one time years ago and at first I thought he was useing two guns I was about twenty five yards away ! He was drawing fast and hitting targets like a machine Amazing !!!

This guy was the greatest at speed and accuracy. He will never be matched

It's the snubnose that makes it impressive. I shot handgun metallic silhouette in the 80s and the farthest steel target in the revolver categorie was at 200 metres which is 220 yards. We shot standing, with open sights and had to topple heavy steel targets. Many had similar handguns to Bob's a few had shorter barrels. My point is that the 44 mag shot is highly achievable. It's the snubnosed one that is exceptional. One way or another, I'm not comparing myself to this fabulous shooter but drawing a perspective to illustrate how difficult the shot with the short 38 special barrel is. Slower, more drop at distance, far less power and a very short sight radius. Many people have difficulty hitting a bullseye at 10 yards, let alone pop a balloon at 200. This is actually quite tame compared to many of his other feats. Bob Munden was a legend.

Bob is just built different. He's one of a kind.

Fantastic shot

My great grandfather was good friends with bob and his wife Becky, he was a great guy and very talented, I live in butte still and I sometimes see Becky when she visits my great grandmother, RIP bob munden

Wow ,really impressive shot ... 👍💪💪💪

Damn good shooting, Bob!!!!!

Truly extraordinary! Amazing

I'm not subscribed to this channel but I get a Google news alert almost every day about "shooting USA"

Wow! Incredible shooting.

Bob the GOAT!

Mr. Bob took a tiny J-frame Smith & Wesson Model 60 Chief's Special, with a 2" barrel, and shot out a balloon "200-yards" away. He only used 1-shot to accomplish this feat-of-feats! A stock Model 60, with black rubber Pachmayr Grips, and at a distance many shooters with scopes on their rifle could not make. This man, most likely, is one of the best top3-handgun shooters ever. What a shot!

Incredible shooting

I used to compete with a Browning 9mm automatic, at six and ten yards. This leaves me stunned.

The bullet doesnt hit the balloon , it hits the steel plate and fragments, the fragmented pieces hit the balloon. So the target is the steel plate.

Sweet shooting!

Old America is so awesome! I miss :(

I wish I had gotten to meet Bob when he was alive. He’s one of the reasons I decided to become a gunsmith.

Pretty dam cool Bob !!

That last shot was mind blowing!!!

My idea for the Alamo would be to go back in time and manufacture a multi barrel salvo gun whereupon one could rotate the salvo barrels; and while I'm at it take a set of flintlock salvo weapons back to the Battle of Oriskany where, an ancestor of mine was an Officer in the Continental Army of General Washington's and was almost killed there. I have seen this one by the late Bob Munden; spectacular shooting.

Somewhere around I have an old gun magazine article with Elmer Keith on how he was shooting 500 plus yards with pistols. Keith actually filed elevation grooves into his rear pistol sights for long range shooting.

Damn good shooting!

Bob is a legend!

The best there ever was. Don’t think we’ll see one better.

Nice shooting and all that! As Jeff Cooper said to me: "How many times out of ten can you do it?" Without video editing. . . . .

Man the grip on that revolver looks amazing

As a full blooded latino, this is the American I aspire to be. God bless this country

Amazing!

That is very impressive. Yesterday I made a 200 yard shot on a 12"x 20" steel silhouette target but seated not off hand

Well, technically the spalling from the .44 mag popped the balloon, still a hellov a shot though. I do miss Bob.

Amazing !!!!!

What a legend

I sure do miss him.

I had a model 29 Lew Horton with a 3 1/2” barrel and every once in a while I could hit a five gallon bucket at 100 yards. Bob Munden can really shoot!

Amazing shooting.

RIP Bob Munden...You are missed.!!!!

Wow that’s amazing

*Bob is my hero! (RIPBM)*

Cool gun and exelent shut . Respeckt Mr.

Incredible!

Holy moly that was impressive

Well that was really cool.

Best shooter ever! No spotter, rest, bench, or scope...
