Bob Munden – The Collector’s Edition DVD
Q: What will we see on this DVD?
Bob Munden: The DVD is a full two hours and 20 minutes. We
have included both of our first two videos, Fastest Man with a Gun
who Ever Lived and All My Heroes Wore Six Guns, PLUS
we created a bonus feature almost 20 minutes long with never-before-seen
footage.
In 1995, I got a wild hair during a lunch conversation with Ray Chapman
of the Chapman Academy about the Bianchi Cup and decided to enter the
match using a Colt
single-action revolver. Crazy! I didn’t expect to do well. I just wanted
to see if it could be done. In those timed events, the other shooters
are using autos or double-action revolvers with the latest thing in
optics and other high-tech features. I just wanted to see if I
could
get all my shots off in the time allowed, using a single-action
revolver. Talk about a super challenge! My wife Becky was out there with
a video camera and what you see on the DVD documents what happened, with
me providing commentary as we go along.
Q: Well how did you do?
Bob Munden: I didn’t place high at all, but I actually did
well enough to win money in the revolver class using fixed iron sights.
As I say on the DVD, if I had the money, I would put up $20,000 just to
see guys out there trying to clean all the
targets with fixed iron sights, no optics. Wouldn’t that be cool?
I had never shot
The Mover before I entered the competition, but that ended up being my
best event. Because I had to use two hands to cock and fire the single
action and couldn’t rest on the barricade in The Barricade event, it was
the most challenging. I think folks will get a kick out of the whole
thing, which looks really funny in some places when you see the other
shooters drop to prone and I’m standing there blazing away with my
cowboy gun.
Q:
According to your Website, you have been working on DVDs for some time.
What was the delay in coming out with this first one, and when will we
see the next?
Bob Munden:
My daughter is a media producer
and we bought all the equipment necessary to do DVD production, but her
home was burglarized by, as it turned out, someone close to her and it
really cost us a lot of time and money to say the least. The good thing
is that she figured out who did it, tracked him down on the other side
of the country and put h im
in jail. In fact, she did such a good job that the prosecutor’s office
offered her a job as an investigator. We got back some of the equipment,
but parts and pieces were missing and trying to get everything working
right without spending even more money has been a nightmare. We cut our
losses and got the first DVD
Bob
