The Bruce Lee of guns. It's an interesting look into human physiology and what some people can do with a combination of God given talent, unique physical traits, and LOTS of practice and repetition. I watched other videos on him where they were talking about the muscle and tendon attributes that were required for Bob to pull that off.

BOB WAS A GOOD FRIEND. WE SPENT MUCH TIME TOGETHER SHOOTING, TELLING STORIES AND ME WATCHING HIM WORK ON MY SINGLE ACTIONS.

I know she sold off some of his guns after his passing but then I hadn't heard anything more since then. Curious how she was doing, she seemed quite the character in her own right, they made quite a pair. |

I had the pleasure of seeing Bob perform once, and meeting him on a few other occasions. His talents with firearms was beyond description. And yes,, Becky was his greatest supporter & a compliment to him. I too would like to know how she's doing.

I watched Bob every week on tv just to see what new shots he would come up with. He was THE MASTER ! R. I. P.

He and Becky were very gracious to me when I dropped the first of several guns off at his place over the short time I knew him. He was working on a Colt SAA for me when he died. I keep thinking about sending it to Jeff Ault to get finished, but it is more than functional and is a Munden gun.

Great to hear JT talk about him and what he was like. That video is great. Watched it a million times...the only thing faster is the speed of light!

I was blessed to see Bob perform twice and to have a half-hour conversation with him in 1996. He knew everybody in the business. We talked about one of our mutual heroes, Roy Rogers, and of course Bob knew him well. Two of the all-time greats that we miss.

Shooting USA was worth watching back then just to see his trick shots. Some of them I was able to replicate, some them I never could, but I never could make it look as easy or consistent as he could. Fun stuff.
