We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Some years ago (not too many), we used to get "The American Shooter" on our local cable system. Several famous shootists were featured each week along with new products info, featurettes, and assorted stuff. Bob Munden was a regular and his segment was always the final one of the show. He was truly amazing!
I remember one such segment where they timed three shots fired from a 1911 and Bob's chosen single action .45 revolver. The did this in split screen mode and showed it several times in normal speed and slow motion. The 1911 shooter managed three shots in 0.2 seconds while Bob managed three shots from a single action revolver in 0.16 seconds.
He would also shoot aspirins out of the air which he threw up himself.

I have enough trouble hitting 4" clay disks with a shotgun. There is no way I could hit an aspirin with a pistol. Put how cool would it to go skeet shooting with him using his pistol.

Sorry - meant to write handgun. But yes, with his revolver.
