This is an I-Heart podcast.

And we continue with our American stories.

We've all heard of gunslingers Wild Bill Hickcock, Doc

Holiday, and Billy the Kid. These three quick-draw legends have nothing on the guy you are about

to meet. Here's Greg Hangler with the story. We all know the classic cowboy film story where the bad guy shows up in town and picks a fight with the good guy.

Well, you wouldn't want to pick a gunfight with the good guy you're about to meet.

After all, if gunslinger Bob Mundin would have existed in the Wild West, he would have simply been called death.

Bob Mundin is one of the great characters in all the shooting sports.

If you don't believe me, just ask him.

I'm not perfect.

Like I tell people all the time in jest, I'm not perfect.

I'm just the closest thing you're going to get to it.

And that's what I tell them, you know, and they all ingest, of course, and I have fun with it.

All jokes aside, Bob is the most decorated fast draw competitor of all time, a feat that

earned him the title, the fastest gun who ever lived. It takes a human three-tenths of a second to blink.

Bob can draw, cock, fire from his hip, it's called instinctive shooting, and re-holster faster

than an eye can blink.

I first realized I had this ability when I first started shooting competition on electronic timers.

The speed of my draw, the mechanics of drawing and firing the gun, is a one and three-quarters, one-hundredths of one second,

or less than one-half of one-half of one-tenth of one second, or just fast, whatever's easy for you to say.

Here's Bob being interviewed at one of his fast draw competitions in 1986.

You are known as one of the fastest gunslingers in the world.
