Yeah Semp but if I could do that you would be calling me an arrogant ass because I would be braggin like a woman with a set of 44's.  :laf:

I was talking to to your son Bop's wife the other night and she said he was alot faster than that guy but aint heard him bragging. You must have taught him to be humble. :eyebrownod:.

I am not sure, but I have heard that Semp taught him how to shoot.  Also heard that Semp lets him keep the title so that there won't be lots of others wanting his advice.

Well, I guess it's up to me to stick up for Bob. :iroll:

"No brag, just fact," as ole Walter Brenner would say each episode of The Guns of Will Sonnet.

Arrogance? Bob was just stating the facts.  In fact Bob moves faster than any human is suppose to. :huh:  According to scientist.  :shrug:

The man is phenomenal & a rarity.  :thumb2:

Well, when he says the only thing faster is the speed of light, he's a little beyond fact. :laf: :laf:

He's amazingly fast, and it is curious how he always holsters the piece super fast after the shot.

A super fast shooter from decades ago, last name of Givens (?) , was a little more modest.  When a reporter said that he would have beaten any of the old time gunslingers, Givens disagreed.  He said something to the effect that the gunmen started with intent to kill, and he didn't.  That difference meant that they would kill him in a gun fight.  This guy's arrogance might stand him well in a gun fight, if it holds up in combat.  You never know.

edited:  I went back and watched again and the first full speed run of two shots distinctly shows two, so deleted my comment about the slo mo needed to be slower to show two distinct shots.  He has amazing speed.  Was that from 1986?

I saw this announcement on his website. 


Look for Bob to Appear on "Superhuman" on the History Channel Summer, 2010

We won't spoil the fun by giving away too much information, but the production crew for the series Superhuman met Bob in Las Vegas in January to tape him shooting for the show.

The episode if expected to air on The History Channel in July.




I wonder if the 24 years since that video clip has slowed him down.    :wo:

Maybe a little, but he was pretty amazing on the "American shootist". He was more into trick shots, like shooting dimes in the air then, but he did it pretty fast.  :whew:
I for dang sure wouldn't want to draw against him.

I always heard it wasn't arrogance or bragging if you could "walk the walk".  :wink:

Kinda interesting if ya feel like readin the 4 little pages of it.     :shrug:
Non the less, there's no doubt the man is incredibly fast.

He truly is amazing. And not just with the fast draw. Single or double action revolver, semi-auto pistol, or rifle, if it slings a bullet, he can shoot it very well. I saw him on some show shooting three shots almost as fast as the two on this clip. He thumb cocked and fired the first, and then swiped his thumb and pinkie finger of his left hand across the hammer for the second and third shots. It sounded like a single shot. Really something to watch.

 :alscalls:  That was pretty quick there yourself Semp!  :alscalls:

It should also be noted that Bob's guns are tricked out.  He works those guns over & they're high precision machines. There's no slop or play in those babies. :biggrin:
