Close up maybe. But from 100yds he's just as dead as Bill Hickcock.

Yeah, he's quick, but a jerk.

id have to see it in real life to believe it. pixels can be made to do anything.

Used to watch Bob Mundon on one of the outdoor channels shoot change. The same coin a number of times before it hit the ground. This has to be very old footage he looked much older the last time I saw him on TV and that had to be 8-10 years ago.

He may be a schmuck but ya gotta admit he is good.

I have never seen that snooty side of him before, interesting.

Unbelievably fast, but what's the point? Does he find a lot of times when it comes in handy?

CaptPatrick · Post by **CaptPatrick** » Dec 18th, '10, 02:59

What's the point?

Exhibition Shooting is entertainment and those who are involved in it strive for excellence just as does anyone else in any other performance field. Why be the fastest runner on the face of the earth? The fastest race car driver ever? The fastest ....?

What's the point of striving for mediocrity?

Unfortunatly Pat thats just what America has been doing.

I can appreciate his talents, it ain't easy being fast and accurate.
Like yourself, talents are much more appreciated when they come from humble persons.

CaptPatrick · Post by **CaptPatrick** » Dec 18th, '10, 07:20

I can overlook lack of humility from most talented folks since I don't have to socialize with 'em... Bob Merganthaler comes to mind.

Mediocrity is it's own reward.

I watched a show (possibly on Discovery) about his speed and accuracy. It turns out he is faster than the blink of an eye. So if you blink, you miss it. Anyway, he was able to draw and hit 2 targets so fast it sounded like only one shot.

on one of the blogs my web site appeared there was a comment section. one fellow upon viewing a carved and painted box of baseball cards asked "what's the point?.....you could just put some real cards in a box and call it a day".

i'll take it one step past the entertainment perspective. its worth it to strive to excel at anything just for the sake of being the best you can be. even if your best is just average compared to the best.

Randall-- A truly excellent point!

If you look up to "ordinary", you're in a hole you'll never get out of.

Capt. DQ · Post by **Capt. DQ** » Dec 18th, '10, 13:33

Can we say egomaniac.

We all have certain God given talents that we love to do or show off to excell in, to be the best or very good at, whatever that might be. To help teach things to others to improve on certain projects, or to push the boundry limits to take something to the next level of where it has never been before.

We all have a little egomaniac in us to some point. Being humble or cockey is attitude of certain people that pushes them to excell to be the best at what they do. Point, not everybody likes Kyle Bush as a racecar driver, but they respect his talent at what he has done in a race car.

Yeah, Bob might be a little cockey to some at that point in time. But I would not want to draw down on Ole' Bob standing in front of him. Before I even blinked, I would be shot 2 to 3 times or more probably.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Everybody

i not sure what the word egomaniac means anymore when it comes to football. every sack ,every touchdown there is a dance or some other stupid movement of the boby. can you top this . people just come to accept this behavior ,did you ever see a professional wrestler in a interview? what did the professional baseball pitcher say after winning 24 games or so "it ain`t bragging if you done it" what would you call deion sanders,terrance owens,randy moss, etc . egomaniac thats ok, but when it gets to obnoxious like the above people then it`s not fun anymore.my 2 cents!

Being good at anything is the point. You must have been joking.
