RIP Bob, say hello to Arvo Oljala, Bill Jordan, Col. Cooper, Jack Weaver and Ed McGivern for us.

Only Thell Reed left of those great early pistoleros.

From the thread title, I thought this was about "McGraw"

Bob put on a show at my friend’s school in MT in the 60s. He said in the days after the show, several boys turned up with 22 bullets in toes and boots and legs. Fun times.

I should kick myself, especially since I live in NM and had a gun once owned by a friend of Skeeter’s, Charlie Pirtle.

He and his wife used to come to our high school every year in the 60s. He was good. Damn good. RIP

Great Pic! i am old. I remember Munden, Elmer Keith (my favorite with the 44 mag) and Skeeter.

read gun books when i was young, and fishing books also. My favorite writer was Patrick McManus. He was hilarious.

RIP Munden!

Didn’t know he was from Big Bear. Lived there for a few years in the early seventies.

Thanks for the post nick...

I've been to many fast-draw competitions - they're fun to watch, and fun to participate in.

My 'hog-leg' is a Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 magnum with a 7.5 inch barrel. Just the sound of it firing is enough to scare 95% of folks half to death. But, it's kick is 'worse than than a 1900 lb Missouri mule' - so I use it rarely these days.
